Summary

Background: - Burn injuries always leave behind some permanent marks on the body of a victim. For the treatment of these scars, digital photography along with scar scales instrument are an important instrument for the patient's evaluation and finally for the follow-up of scars. Clinical evaluation of the patient after the use of Platelet concentration that it is a beneficial treatment which affects both on hard and soft tissues healing because of having growth factors deposited in PRP. Therefore, it can be used as an alternative to surgery which promotes safe and natural healing in such patients.

Objectives: -

1\. To determine the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma plus fat grafting as compared to fat grafting alone on the Vancouver scar scale.

Methodology: - An experimental controlled comparison trial study will be done on burn patients, admitted for recovery at the Plastic surgery department, Civil Hospital Karachi after the approval of the scientific committee and Institutional review board of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. The study participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria giving consent will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will receive only fat grafting whereas another group will receive Platelet Rich Plasma plus fat grafting. The sample size of the study will be 52(26 in each group). Both the groups will be followed initially for 15 days of two visits then monthly two visits and finally after 6 months. Assessment of scar with Vancouver Scars Scale (VSS) will be done. The association of the PRP plus fat cells group and control group will be done by applying Chi-square statistical test. P-Value will be set for statistical significance level at \<0.05.
