Scar contracture bands after burns are frequent problems that cause discomfort and physical limitation. This study investigates the efficacy of a minimally invasive contracture band release technique (MICBR) inspired by closed platysmotomy. Patients with burn scars treated with MICBR in our center were included retrospectively. Our routine scar and contracture treatments (non-invasive and invasive) were utilized prior to undergoing MICBR. Range of motion (ROM) and Vancouver Scar Scale was measured before and after the procedure when feasible. Forty-five patients were included, with 97 total contracture sites treated all over the body. An average of 1.6 sites were treated per patient, with a maximum of six. Patients age was 6–68 years; total burn surface area ranged from 0.5% to 85%. 24% were performed under local anesthesia. 84% were in originally skin grafted areas. We found significant improvements in ROM and VSS. 84% of patients surveyed were “satisfied” or “very satisfied”. 95% reported improved mobility. No significant adverse events occurred. This MICBR technique is a versatile, safe, and well-tolerated adjunct procedure that can help patients regain mobility after a burn injury. •Burn injuries can cause scar contractures that have severe functional consequences.•Minimally invasive contracture release can be performed on patients of any age or burn surface area.•This contracture release is safe and can be performed under local anesthesia.•Patients undergoing this contracture release had significant range-of-motion increases.•95% of patients reported improved mobility.
