Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

the purpose of this study is to compare the gain in length after postburn contracture release using two different techniques, the more commonly practised z - plasty and relatively newer technique, square flap

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

z-plasty

Z-plasty: It will be defined as a local transposition flap that will be used to improve the functional and cosmetic appearance of scars. It will be involved creating two triangular flaps of equal dimensions that will be transposed.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

z-plasty

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Z-plasty: It will be defined as a local transposition flap that will be used to improve the functional and cosmetic appearance of scars. It will be involved creating two triangular flaps of equal dimensions that will be transposed.

square flap

Square flap: It will be defined as is another local transposition flap which will be used for release of contractures. Square will be marked on one side of the contracture, and two triangles will be marked on the other side, with the length of all the flaps equal, which will be then transposed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

square flap

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Square flap: It will be defined as is another local transposition flap which will be used for release of contractures. Square will be marked on one side of the contracture, and two triangles will be marked on the other side, with the length of all the flaps equal, which will be then transposed.
