At the first stage, a wedge type, 7 cc tissue expander was placed beneath the dorsal skin of the syndactylous digits via a vertical dorsal hand incision under local anesthesia. Inflation was begun on the 15th postoperative day. After the inflation period (average 32 days), syndactyly repair similar to the Littler technique was performed using axillary block anesthesia. During the expansion period one tissue expander became exposed and this hand was repaired by the classical skin grafting technique. In the remaining ten hands the expanded dorsal skin ensured skin closure of the digits and web reconstruction without any need for skin grafting. No complications were encountered during the postoperative period. Active and passive abduction angles, tip-to-tip length, active range of motion of the digits, and two point discrimination tests were done at follow-up (average six months). The web appearances were normal in all patients. Active abduction angles and active range of motion of the digits was always normal at the third postoperative month. Two point discrimination was 8.7 mm on the interdigital sides of the digits and there was no tip-to-tip length differences of the digits. No contractures were seen.

Although the most commonly used material is the former, harvesting, carving and shaping are problems. Recently, porous polyethylene implants have proved to be useful for ear reconstruction. Ten ear reconstructions were performed in adults using porous polyethylene implants over the last two years. The patients were treated in two stages. First, the material was implanted and at the second stage the ear was elevated and the lobule was transposed. Both stages were performed under local anesthesia. There were three exposures which were managed without implant removal. One infected implant was salvaged by irrigation with antibiotics. All reconstructions were accepted as pleasing by the patients.

In this clinical study we have reviewed 32 patients with different types of axillary post-burn adduction contractures.
