Abstract :

To a plastic surgeon reconstruction of post burn deformity is a real challenge. Burn injury of ear can lead to cosmetic deformity which can vary from minor to very severe. Correction of those deformities and giving a normal shape to the ear can be a daunting task because of the intricacies involved in framing the cartilage and inadequate soft tissue availability in the surrounding area.We will study the various problem associated with a burn scar. In many cases acceptable result can be achieved with fairly simple procedures which involve repositioning and/or unfolding a deformed ear.In this study we have shown feasibility of use of costal cartilage framework in reconstruction along with different coverage option like post auricular pocket and temporoparietal fascia where indicated.
