What symptom does scar contracture have?

summary

The force of scar contracture is very strong. In the process of scar healing, the force of scar contracture is gradually increasing. Long term scar contracture often leads to secondary contracture of deep tissue. Because of scar contracture. Lack of physical activity. Especially near the elbow joint, heterotopic ossification is easy to occur, which further aggravates the limb dysfunction until the joint ankylosis deformity. The treatment of contracture scar should be carried out in the early stage.

What symptom does scar contracture have?

Before the early wound healed, the movement and shape of the limbs could be almost normal; Once healed, the strength of contracture increased, and the mild cases were only skin and subcutaneous soft tissue contracture,

Severe cases can cause muscle, tendon, blood vessels, nerve shortening, and even bone and joint deformity, years of contracture, can cause limb distortion, snake shaped deformity, complete loss of work function.

The force of scar contracture may exceed the tension of bone, joint, ligament and tendon, resulting in joint distortion, subluxation or dislocation. If not treated in time, limb scar contracture deformity in childhood can cause bone growth retardation, bone development limitation and bone bending deformity.

matters needing attention

In the extremities, sometimes it is necessary to extend the tendon, open the joint capsule, remove the joint ligament and other auxiliary operations in order to achieve full release. During the release, appropriate external force can be applied, but violent traction should not be used to force joint reduction, so as to avoid the laceration of nerves, blood vessels and other soft tissues.
