Plastic Repair of Contractures and Late Treatment of Burn-Scars. A Report of 12 Cases

were treated in the Campbell Hospital but only two cases developed contractures, one in the axilla and one in the fingers and both left the hospital before treatment was complete. All the same contractures will form in some cases due either to wrong treatment or to want of facilities for proper treatment. Twelve cases were treated by me in the Campbell Hospital in 1946, all of whom were healthy except for the contractures. Grouped regionally there were 4 cases of contractures of the axilla (holding the arm to chest wall), three of the fingers (in flexion and in extension), three of the elbow, and two of the ankle.
