Summary

Burn injuries are a complex form of trauma with a high risk of complications. When they affect the upper limbs, patients often develop functional contractures and/or pathological scars that significantly impair mobility, quality of life, and psychological well-being. Current treatments-such as surgical interventions and corticosteroid injections-offer limited effectiveness, require prolonged therapy, and are associated with discomfort, multiple sessions, and indirect costs. Autologous fat grafting, a regenerative technique based on the transfer of the patient's own adipose tissue, has emerged as a promising alternative. It combines biocompatibility with regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties that may improve both function and scar quality. This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of fat grafting in patients with post-burn upper limb sequelae compared to standard treatment (surgical release and/or corticosteroid injections). Patients will be prospectively followed and assessed using validated scar scales and functional outcomes.

Conditions

  • Autologous Fat Grafting
  • Burn
  • Corticosteroid Injection

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fat Graft

Non-regenerative standard treatment for post-burn sequelae, involving either corticosteroid injection to reduce scar inflammation and fibrosis, or surgical release for contractures. The procedure type will be chosen based on the clinical indication and severity.
