the purpose of this study is to compare the gain in length after postburn contracture release using two different techniques, the more commonly practised z - plasty and relatively newer technique, square flap

Inclusion Criteria:- • Both genders.
Exclusion Criteria:
Deep burns.
Z-plasty: It will be defined as a local transposition flap that will be used to improve the functional and cosmetic appearance of scars. It will be involved creating two triangular flaps of equal dimensions that will be transposed.
Procedure: z-plasty
Square flap: It will be defined as is another local transposition flap which will be used for release of contractures. Square will be marked on one side of the contracture, and two triangles will be marked on the other side, with the length of all the flaps equal, which will be then transposed.
