Abstract The treatment of a severe post-burn contracture of the left hand is presented. A free scapular flap was transplanted to the inguinal area and then used to release the contracture in the manner of a pedicled groin flap. The advantages of this method are that it can be utilized regardless of the condition of the recipient site, and the major vessels of the hand remain intact.
