Burn Contracture Release Surgery Successfully Performed for the First Time at Shahid Akbarabadi Mother Support Hospital
Burn injuries are among the most common medical issues, and in cases involving deep burns or burns affecting joints and hands, they can lead to contractures—adhesions that restrict movement. In addition to causing chronic pain, these complications may progress to a point where even physiotherapy proves ineffective, leaving specialized and precise surgery as the only viable treatment.
In this context, for the first time at Shahid Akbarabadi Mother Support Educational and Treatment Center, a successful surgical release of finger contractures was performed on a teenage girl who had developed severe adhesions in the web space and fingers following a burn injury. The procedure was carried out with exceptional precision and care by Dr. Masoumeh Abbasnejad, a fellowship-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
According to experts, this type of surgery is considered one of the most delicate hand operations, requiring advanced skill and experience. Any improper intervention can result in serious complications, including vascular and nerve damage, tissue necrosis, or even gangrene of the fingers.
With the successful completion of this procedure, Shahid Akbarabadi Mother Support Hospital has taken a significant step forward in advancing its subspecialty services in plastic and reconstructive surgery for patients.
