Thumb reconstruction in the severely burned hand. 1976

A L Pohl, and D L Larson, and S R Lewis

The standard techniques have generally been adequate for thumb reconstruction in the severely burned hand. The basic principles of preservation of length, prevention of malposition and contracture by appropriate splinting, early motion, and early skin coverage are all applicable. The nature of the tissue changes wrought by the burn wound, however, frequently necessitates certain modifications in the approach to surgical reconstruction. We have described these and our methods used in handling 9 specific cases.
