What is Post Burn Deformity?
Post burn deformity refers to the physical disfigurement or functional limitations that occur after severe burn injuries have healed. These deformities can affect the skin, muscles, tendons, and joints, leading to tight, thickened scars, restricted movement, and aesthetic concerns. They often require surgical correction and rehabilitation to restore appearance and mobility.
What causes it:
- Deep burns: Injuries that damage multiple skin layers and underlying tissues.
- Delayed wound healing: Infections or poor care that prolong healing and increase scarring.
- Improper initial treatment: Lack of splinting, grafting, or therapy after burns.
Scar contracture: Tightening of skin due to excessive scar tissue formation.
Symptoms:
- Tight, thick, or raised scars
- Limited joint or limb movement
- Abnormal posture or joint positioning
- Pain or discomfort in the affected area
- Uneven skin texture or pigmentation
- Cosmetic disfigurement

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. Mild deformities may improve with physiotherapy, splinting, or pressure garments. However, moderate to severe contractures, restricted movement, or cosmetic concerns usually require surgical intervention.
Generally, surgery is recommended after the burn wounds have completely healed and the scars have matured — usually after 6–12 months. However, urgent cases like severe contractures may need earlier intervention.
Common procedures include contracture release, skin grafting, flap surgeries, and Z-plasty. The choice depends on the extent, location, and nature of the deformity.
While surgery significantly improves function and appearance, complete restoration may not always be possible. Multiple procedures and rehabilitation may be needed for the best outcome.
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual. Most patients can resume light activity in 2–4 weeks, but full recovery—including physiotherapy—may take a few months.
