Postburn contractures in the upper extremities limit the function of the hand and arm. In this report, we presented surgical treatment of a patient with post burn contracture in the upper extremity. A 25-year-old female patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic for contracture of the left wrist since the age of three. On examination, the patient had an extension contracture of approximately 120 degrees in the left wrist. The patient's contracture was opened with an incision and the defect was closed with an abdominal flap. We think that abdominal flap is a good alternative for the treat ment of postburn contractures.Postburn contractures in the upper extremities limit the function of the hand and arm.

Özet
Üst ekstremitede yanık sonrası gelişen kontraktürler elin ve kolun fonksiyonunu kısıtlamaktadır. Bu raporda yanık sonrası üst ekstremite kontraktürü olan bir hastanın cerrahi tedavisini sunduk. Yirmibeş yaşında bayan hasta 3 yaşından beri sol el bileği bölgesindeki kontraktür sebebiyle polikliniğimize başvurdu. Muayenesinde hastanın sol elbilek ekstansör yüzde yaklaşık 120 derece ekstansiyon kontraktürü vardı. Hastanın kontraktürü yapılan insizyonla açılarak oluşan defekt karın flebiyle kapatıldı. Karın flebinin yanık sonrası görülen kontraktürlerin tedavisinde iyi bir tedavi alte rnatifi olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
