If the diformity involved multiple organs, oftentimes the teatmentis very difficult because the material for repair is limited and the donorsite usually could not provide adequate amount of skin for repair. Since 1978,2496 cases of various postburn deformities were admitted. In this article, theoptimal time to operate was discussed. The use of flap transfer and soft tissueexpander was described. Prolonged traction in the treatment of severe contracture of large joint was also described.
