Abstract: 9.40 Analysis Of Functional Outcome On Post-Burn Upper Limb Contractures In Children In Two Different Countries

چکیده
IntroductIon: Peripheral nerve injury is a common and debilitating consequence of traumatic injury. Surgical repair of peripheral nerve by repositioning results in a degree of nerve regeneration and functional recovery. However, the clinical outcome, particularly in long length nerve defects, is disappointing and research continues to develop approaches to optimize functional recovery. An approach we are investigating is the use of fine spider silk fibers from species Nephilla Edulis for guidance material for peripheral nerve regeneration. Aim of this small study was to investigate cell survival, cell migration and distribution of nutritive substances on spider silk through an artificial nerve graft of various lengths ranging from 04-15cm.

Role of Square Flap in Post Burn Axillary Contractures
BACKGROUND Post-burn contractures are a commonly encountered problem and many techniques have been described in their treatment. Z-plasties are the commonest local flap procedure done for linear bands with adjacent healthy tissue. Our aim was to assess the use of square flap technique in axillary contractures. METHODS Ten patients with type I and II axillary contractures underwent release by...
متن کاملAlterations in functional movement after axillary burn scar contracture: a motion analysis study.
Children with axillary burns often develop scar contractures that restrict shoulder movement. Objective data on functional movement patterns after contracture formation is sparse. The purpose of this study was to determine how axillary contractures affect shoulder movement during activities of daily living (ADLs). This was a prospective study of children with axillary contractures scheduled for...
متن کاملTreatment of post-burn upper extremity, neck and facial contractures: report of 77 cases.
BACKGROUND Post-burn contractures severely deteriorate life quality. We aimed to present our treatment protocols for post-burn sequelae and the contractures that cause functional limitations. METHODS Seventy-seven cases with post-burn contracture were treated in our clinic. Post-burn contractures occurring after a burn injury affected the upper extremity, face and neck in 60, 17 and 6 cases, ...
متن کاملAnalysis of upper extremity motion in children after axillary burn scar contracture release.
Burns to the upper extremity and axilla frequently result in the formation of contractures that can impede shoulder range of motion. The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term effects of upper extremity burn scar contracture release on motion during activities of daily living in the first year postrelease. Upper extremity motion analysis was conducted on children aged 4 to 17 year...
متن کاملLong-term postoperative outcomes after axillary contracture release in children with burns.
Children with upper extremity burns frequently develop axillary contractures that can restrict movement. Surgical axillary contracture release is performed to restore function. The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term effects (up to 7 years) of surgical axillary contracture release on upper extremity motion during simulated activities of daily living using three-dimensional motio...
