Abstract

Axillary burns and contractures are physically debilitating. Early splintage and patient   compliance is critical to improve functional outcomes. Traditional treatment of axillary  contractures involved use of aieroplane splints which provided fixed abduction at the shoulder joint. Traditionally made splints available in markets can be substituted using indigenously  made splint using cramer wire splint.
