Background:
Paediatric patients with scars after burn are regularly encountered. Discussion of rational strategies for management are of value. The objective of the study was to describe development and utilisation of strategies for paediatric burn scars up to five years after injury.
Methods:
We included 164 cases aged from 5 to 8 years old in our study; all had burn scar deformities.
Results:
Assessments were made up to December 31, 2019. The following strategies were used: sequential treatment, reconstruction based on facial aesthetic units, predicting the effect of surgery on development, releasing skin tension and application of photoelectric technology or other non-surgical measures.
Conclusions:
Using rational strategies for paediatric burn scars is very important.

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...

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...
