“…To our knowledge, there is only one case report in the literature where a patient developed scoliosis following burn injuries occurring at 10 years of age or later. 20 We did not formally evaluate the quality of patients' scars in this study, but anecdotally, in our patients with scoliosis, final or intermediary scars were not noted in the charts to be particularly hypertrophic compared to the cohort. However, a potential role of the postsurgical scar cannot be excluded in the development of scoliosis.…”

Introduction: We hypothesize that treatment of significant truncal lesions with truncal tissue expanders and subsequent flap surgery in pediatric patients may increase the risk of scoliosis. This study aims to investigate any relationship between tissue expansion (TE) and scoliosis and to compare the prevalence of scoliosis in our tissue expander population to the general population. Methods: Health records of patients who underwent truncal TE at BC Children’s Hospital between 1997 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. The cross-sectional component of the study consisted of radiological imaging to establish the presence or absence of scoliosis. Results: We identified 28 patients who underwent truncal TE over the study period. Ten had a scoliosis X-ray on their chart or as a part of the study. Three (10.7%) patients were identified as having developed scoliosis after TE. Conclusions: We recommend that pediatric TE patients be made aware of the potential complication of scoliosis and be followed closely in the years during and after their treatment, in order to allow for preventative measures, early diagnosis and early management (if required).

“…55 For contractures of the back, correction of kyphosis was the target goal and reconstruction usually incorporated flaps like expanded local flaps, ALT, or trapezius myocutaneous flap, in combination with thoracoplasty and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital spinal system. [56][57][58][59]…”

Summary: Burn contracture affects close to one-third of all burn patients, leading to significant functional impairment and costs. Effective prevention and treatment strategies are necessary to decrease morbidity and unnecessary costs. This scoping review aimed to summarize prevention and treatment strategies used for management of burn scar contractures published in the literature since 2000. A comprehensive PubMed review was performed in October 2022 to identify methods of burn contracture prevention and treatments. Non-English, duplicate, and unavailable articles were excluded. Data were extracted including publication year, techniques, and outcomes. A total of 327 publications met criteria for inclusion. Most articles were published in 2011 (n = 22). Treatment strategies were discussed in 82.9% of studies, prevention in 16.5%, and both in 0.6%. The most common areas discussed included the upper extremity (n = 127) and neck (n = 102). Flaps were the most frequently used method (n = 208), followed by autografts (n = 89). Most preventative therapies were still in early stages of development. Burn contracture management requires a highly individualized approach with many available reconstructive techniques available. Further research is needed to improve prevention techniques and decrease morbidity and cost to patients.
