	<span lang=\"EN-US\">A nine-year-old girl sustained extreme
postburn contractures of the face, neck, both axillae, elbows, wrists, and
ankles, due to flame injury 5 years ago. No primary and plastic surgical burn
treatment was available in a remote area of <st1:country-region w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">China</st1:place></st1:country-region>. From October, 2005 to April,
2007, all adhesions were released in five operations and the huge defects
covered with local musculo-cutaneous flaps, z-plasties, and with thick split
skin gafts. This led to an optimal functional result and an aesthetic
restoration of the face, giving her, back her self-esteem in daily life.<o:p></o:p></span>
