How Contracture Release + Skin Graft/Flap Reconstruction is performed
This procedure is often used for scar or soft tissue contractures, requiring selection of skin grafts or local/free flaps as donor sites when conditions permit. Typically, under anesthesia, scar bands are released in layers, soft tissue coverage is reconstructed, and necessary vascular procedures are completed with magnification equipment. The wound can be covered with split-thickness/full-thickness skin grafts or flap transfers, combined with negative pressure and splint fixation. Postoperative focus is on monitoring flap/graft survival, controlling infection, and gradually restoring joint movement. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
