Abstract:

Background and Objective: Scar flexion contractures of the fingers are a significant complication of burns of the hand and they are a common cause of hand disability. Many reconstructive techniques are currently used and new procedures are being investigated. The objective is to evaluate the Trapeze flap for correction of post burn finger contractures.

Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in Rizgary teaching hospital and private hospitals in Erbil-Iraq from May’ 2013 to Jun’ 2017. The data of 48 patients (103 fingers) with post burn contractures treated with Trapeze flap were included. Follow-up results were observed from six months to one year after surgery. Full finger active flexion and active extension was regarded as a good result.

Results: The results were good with full restoration of finger motion in 45 patients (94%). Partial flap necrosis happened in two patients (4%). Mild scar contractures were found in three patients (6.25%) which were caused by infection and partial flap necrosis. Patients’ satisfaction rate was above 90%.

Conclusions: Trapeze flap is a reliable and effective local flap for correcting post burn finger contractures.
