Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Web contractures are fairly commonly encountered in those who have suffered from burn injury or other trauma. Numerous local flaps have been adopted previously. The five-flap Z-plasty is one that has been used frequently. To release the scar as much as possible, based on the traditional design, we developed a modified technique of the five-flap Z-plasty to reconstruct the axillary and elbow web contractures. Hence, the length of the axis of the cicatrix could be much lengthened. METHODS:Twenty patients (12 females and 8 males, 7 to 48 years-old) with 27 web contractures were arranged for the operation using the new flap. The contractures were formed on by burn injury in 17 patients, surgery in 2 patients, and traumatic cicatrix in 1 case. All patients were operated on using a modified five-flap Z-plasty to reach the aim of maximum contracture relaxation. RESULTS:All flaps survived well. No flap tip necrosis occurred. Good function was gained in all patients postoperatively by the one year average follow-up. There was no recurrence. The contracture band was freed satisfactorily. CONCLUSION:The technique is very easy to execute and can be used both in web and linear contractures. With the virtue of extending the length of the scar axis to a higher degree compared to the traditional method, we suggest this modified five-flap Z-plasty application.
