Abstract
The release of postburn contractures in the hand is one of the most commonly performed procedures in burn injuries. Contractures of the web space may involve palmar, dorsal, or both sides of the web skin and require various surgical techniques. In this report we provide general guidelines for the release of these contractures, with special emphasis on reconstruction of the second through fourth web spaces.
