Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effect of comprehensive rehabilitation combined with fractional carbon dioxide laser for hand burn scar contracture deformity after plastic surgery.
Methods A total of 56 patients who underwent plastic surgery for hand burn scar contracture deformity from January 2020 to June 2023 at the Department of Burn Plastic and Wound Repair, Ganzhou People′s Hospital were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a lottery method, with 28 cases in each group.The observation group received comprehensive rehabilitation combined with fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment, while the control group received comprehensive rehabilitation treatment alone.The difference in quality of life, total active motion of finger, daily living ability, treatment compliance, treatment effectiveness, and hand function recovery between the two groups at 6 months after treatment was observed.The quality of life of patients was evaluated using 36-items short form health survey (SF-36), and the recovery of hand function was evaluated using the upper limb functional assessment criteria issued by the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association.
Results The quality of life, total active motion of finger, daily living ability, treatment compliance, treatment effectiveness, and hand function recovery of the observation group were all better than those of the control group, with statistical difference (P<0.05).
Conclusion The effect of comprehensive rehabilitation combined with fractional carbon dioxide laser for hand burn scar contracture deformity after plastic surgery is significantly better than that of simple comprehensive rehabilitation treatment.Early use of fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment is recommended.
