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.
