Postburn Contractures of the Elbow and Heterotopic Ossification.
Hand Clinics 2017 May
Postburn contractures of the elbow are uncommon debilitating sequelae of severe burn injuries, which result from thermal injury to both deep and superficial tissues. When periarticular heterotopic bone forms in association with burn injuries, severe and rigid contractures may develop that prohibit basic functions of daily living and are often refractory to nonoperative intervention.
