Contractures are scars at joints which prevent complete mobility of a joint. They are often found after burn injuries, and trauma, wound healing called post burn contracturs or post traumatic contractures. Somtimes they occur without any tauma or burn. They are treated surgically to make a joint work again. If not treated for a long time they can destroy joint itself. We treat all kinds of contractures...
