Summary

Objective: to evaluate the perforator based interposition plasty in comparison to the standard technique (full thickness graft) for scar contracture releases.

Study design: A randomised controlled multicentre intervention study.

Study population: Patients, aged 18 years and older, who require surgery for release of a scar contracture, are eligible for this study. In total 50 patients will be recruited with a follow-up of 3 months post-operatively.

Intervention: A release of the contracture will be performed in combination with òr the standard technique (full thickness graft) òr the perforator based interposition plasty.

Main study parameters/endpoints: the main study parameter is the amount of contraction of the flap/graft after three months.

Conditions

  • Burn Scar Contraction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Perforator based interposition flap

The flap is designed based on a selected perforator and locally available, preferably normal skin adjacent to the burn scar contracture. The flap consists of skin and underlying subcutaneous tissue. Based on the pre-operative defined perforator, the required length and width and the available preferable normal skin, a design for the perforator flap is made.
