Abstract We present a retrospective study of 134 axillae treated in 124 cases of axillary scar contractures with the use of skin grafts and various flaps over the last 25 years in our department.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Furthermore, the concept of laser-assisted delivery of medications through ablative microchannels raises exciting possibilities for the delivery of a wide variety of substances below the epidermal barrier to the area of interest. 17 Without laser pretreatment[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Pulsed-dye, Nd:YAG, carbon dioxide, and fractional lasers have varied indications but are exciting in their promise for scar management. [29] When performed correctly, the damage caused by the laser is limited to the underlying dermis, thereby lowering[emedicine.medscape.com]
Abstract The treatment of burn scar contractures is a major emphasis in the rehabilitation of patients with burn injuries. Many treatment techniques have been used successfully but without a critical investigation of the best practice of care.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment begins by educating the patient about the etiology of the scarring process.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Can you prevent contractures? While it is not possible to prevent contractures in all cases, some things have been effective in minimizing their impact.[burnvictimsresource.org]
Postoperative immobilization by the use of either a dynamic or an adynamic splint was found to be important both for preventing graft loss and for decreasing the rate of contracture recurrence.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
