Abstract

The aim of the study is study outcome of patients undergoing split thickness skin grafting for post burn contracture release. Material and Methods: All patients of post burn contracture admitted to medical between August 2013 to December 2015 at Medical College Hospital and Tertiary health care center were included in the study after they satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sample size: 38 cases. Conclusion: Split thickness skin grafting is an simple and effective treatment modality in post burn contracture patients. The success rate split thickness skin grafting in post burn contracture release is 89.5% in our study.
