Case Study: Post-Burn Sequelae with Bilateral Knee Flexion Contractures in a Pediatric Patient

Prabha S., Dharma Devi D.

Abstract: This case study discusses a pediatric patient presenting with severe bilateral knee flexion contractures and a chronic non-healing wound following burn injuries. The patient exhibited a 60-degree flexion deformity in both knees and an unstable, non-healing wound on the right thigh. Clinical and radiological assessments guided a surgical plan involving contracture release, debridement, and split-thickness skin grafting (SSG). This case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention and rehabilitation in preventing long-term deformities and restoring functional mobility in post-burn pediatric patients.
