right hand with luxation of the IP joint of the thumb, wrist
contracture, and moderate syndactyly between the ulnar

with a K-wire. FTSG applied to the wrist, thumb, and
radial part of the dorsum of the hand, and release of ulnar

also helpful during dressing change

Knee Joint
1. Burn contractures of the knee joints are common and disabling. There are several important points to remember when planning knee
joint contracture release.
2. The common peroneal nerve may easily be
overstretched during the release procedure as
it winds around the neck of the bula.
3. The posterior joint capsule has most likely
become tight.
4. The rst step is to excise all scar tissue. This
will certainly enable the joint to be carefully
extended. No force should be applied to
extend the joint. The joint should be stabilized
either with an external xator, or wooden
bars. Continue with daily dressing.
5. Further extension of the joint may be done
2–3 times per week under sedation. No force
to be applied. The joint will often reach full
extension in a couple of weeks.
6. Once the joint is fully extended, the popliteal
area should be covered with a FTSG. Remaining
wounds with meshed STSG. Keep the external
xator until grafts have healed well. POP splints
may be used for another 4–6weeks, depending
on the initial severity of the contracture.
7. In longstanding cases, the cartilage might
have disintegrated, making the extended joint
painful. The only solution would be arthrodesis to avoid a painful unstable joint.
8. One might argue that fasciocutaneous aps
may give a better solution to the popliteal
joint compared to FTSG. This may certainly
be the case, under favorable conditions, slim
individuals, limited burns with ample healthy
skin for a transposition ap. One must be sure
the ap would reach the opposite side. In case
of a bulky ap due to the amount of subcutaneous tissue, the situation is different.
9. The main advantages of using a FTSG are
avoiding bulky aps besides the advantage of
harvesting the required size for the defect.
The recipient wound bed must be very well
prepared with no scar tissue for the FTSG to
be successful (Figs.32.92, 32.93, and 32.94).

3months duration. Notice incisions reach mid-lateral line
of knee joints to prevent post-op contracture lines. FTSG
should always cover the popliteal areas as seen here.

Figs. 32.103–32.106 Severely twisted/contracted ankle
joints in a 4-year-old boy following stepping into burning
trash. Ankle joints completely locked with no movement
at all due to contracting scar tissue. Both knees exed
slightly so that heels would touch ground while walking.
Even then, keeping balance was nearly impossible.
Careful dissection under tourniquet to avoid exposure of
tendon sheets, nerves, and joints.Toes dissected free and
transxed with K-wires.FTSG applied across the anterior
ankle joint. The other areas covered with sheets of
STSG.1year post-op visit, ankle close to normal range of
movement

Heel Reconstruction
Heel reconstruction is a rather rare procedure.
Surgeons will come across cases where heel
reconstruction is necessary, either from trafc
accidents, burns, or other casualties and tumors
(Fig.32.107).
Once the heel pad is missing, a skin graft –
STSG or FTSG – may not yield a satisfactory
result in the long run as pain will inevitably
become a headache for the patient.
The sural reverse fasciocutaneous ap is fre-
quently used in reconstruction of heel defects.
In this section, another reliable and easy to
perform pedicle ap will be described through
specic case examples: the tensor fascia lata
(TFL)cross-leg ap. The distal part of the TFL
muscle consists of a thick fascia that is included
in the ap. Figure32.108 shows the ap as it is
raised from the lateral distal part of the right
thigh. This ap produces predictably good results
(Figs.32.109 and 32.110).

a 16-year-old boy. Excision of the necrosis reveals a huge
defect. Left foot is brought across to the contralateral
thigh where the TFL ap has been raised to be applied to
the defect of the left heel. The remaining wound on the
sole as well as the donor area on right thigh are covered
with meshed STSG.Pedicle released 3weeks post-op. No
complaint of pain on follow-up
