Abstract |
Introduction |
Alopecia resulting from burns represents a surgical challenge, with significant functional, physical, psychological and social consequences. Current management is based on various techniques. However, the results are most often very disappointing. Hair transplantation could be an option.
Clinical case |
A 51-year-old soldier, victim of a plane crash with more than 40% of his body surface burned, was treated with hair autograft.
Conclusion |
Hair transplantation could prove to be one of the significant solutions to reconstruct alopecia caused by thermal burns.
