Abstract
A cast of severe post burns contracture of the wrist, of 43 years dura tion resulting in recurrent ulceration of the skin was successfully tr eated by gradual distraction using the Ilizarov method. This method is superior to plaster of Paris cast and is more versatile than other fo rms of external fixation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd for ISBI. Ali rights reserved.
