Summary
A pilot experiment to test the efficiency of the enzyme Collagenase in treating contractures
which result's from burn's healing process.
So far, treatment of choice in patients with burn's created movement limiting contractures,
concentrated around supportive care. Patients were referred to surgical intervention only if
necessary. Treatment by injecting an external enzyme is avant-garde and hasn't been done
under such conditions.
This study might introduce a new kind of treatment, which can be done in ambulatory
environment .This type of treatment might significantly improve patients' function and
quality of life, with no need for a surgical intervention.
