T2  - Treatment of Scars From Burns and Trauma
AB  - In  the  aftermath  of  a  burn,  emerging  hypertrophic  scars  and  inadequate  skin  healing  must  be  treated  to  prevent  or  minimize  the  creation  of  scars  that  will  otherwise  cause  substantial  functional  impediment  and  disfigurement.  A  treatment  plan  may  include  the  use  of  Z-plasty  to  release  local  scar  contractures,  or  skin  grafts  to  further  reduce  tension  and  restore  structures  to  their  normal  positions.  Pedicle  flaps,  tissue  expansion,  and  other  flaps  and  composite  tissue  allotransplantation  may  also  be  considered.  Site-specific  considerations  may  guide  planning  on  the  face,  including  the  eyelid,  nose,  ear,  and  cheeks,  as  well  as  the  scalp  and  neck.  Ectropion  and  microstomia  may  need  to  be  corrected.  Contractures  of  the  hand,  including  the  web  spaces  and  eponychial  folds,  and  also  the  neck  and  axilla,  may  be  specifically  addressed.
