BackgroundMultiple reconstructive methods have been used for the treatment of postburn scar contractures including skin grafting, geometric relaxation techniques, local flaps and free flaps.PurposeIn the present study, the authors evaluated efficiency of the use of rhomboid flap and double Z-plasty technique in the treatment of chronic postburn contractures.MethodsTwelve white male with postburn scar contracture were treated using rhomboid and double Z-plasty technique. The cause of burn, duration of contracture, postoperative follow-up period, preoperative and postoperative motion lag of joints and improvement in motion were recorded.ConclusionsAll operations were successful. Severe contracture lines crossing flexion folds can be released effectively by using rhomboid flap and double Z-plasty technique without distorting the specialized flexion areas and with broken scar lines which is essential to avoid from recurrence.
