Objective:
To investigate the development made in the reparation and reconstruction of the postburn deformity and functional disability in the advanced-stage patients.
Methods:
Based on the reviewed literature at home and abroad and combined with our clinical experience, the new reparative and reconstructive techniques for the patients with advanced-stage deformity and functional disability were evaluated.
Results:
The reparative and reconstructive microsurgical techniques achieved a significant development in treating the following pathologic changes after burn: deformity due to proliferation and contracture of the scars, severe hand deformity, defects occurring in the muscle tendons and nerves due to electricity burn, and defects occurring in the long tubular bones of the extremities.
Conclusion:
Although there has been a great achievement in this field, there is still a hard task of finding out newer therapeutic approaches and achieving more effective results in the future.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
