Healed burn scars face skin#
In contrast, the control group without traction showed 8 cases of skin infection, 6 cases of skin necrosis and 10 cases of inflammation recurrence. Postoperatively, the experimental group with traction showed 2 cases of skin infection, 1 case of skin necrosis and 3 cases of inflammation recurrence. The skin defect area was approximately 15 cm × 9-43 cm × 10 cm. The skin traction device used was a hook and single rod type. Male & female with and without skin traction are 22 & 18 and 25 & 15 respectively. The inclusion criteria include large area skin defects, normal peripheral skin & blood supply, normal vital organs, no severe coagulation dysfunction etc. In contrast, 40 people in the control group underwent skin flaps or skin grafts without skin traction. There were 40 patients in the experimental group who underwent skin traction. MethodsĪ prospective study was conducted on 80 patients suffered from large area skin defects in the department of orthopedics, the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to January 2023. This technique accurately controls skin expansion which is safe, convenient and accelerates wound healing. Skin traction is the application of pulling force to the trunk or extremities for immobilization, fracture reduction and deformity correction.
There are many reasons for skin defects such as trauma, infection, burns, scars, tumors resection, inflammation, pigmented nevus, etc. The skin is the largest organ of the human body and skin tissue exposed to external environment which makes it vulnerable to damage. To explore the clinical applications of the adjustable skin traction technique in the treatment of large area skin defects.
