pubmed:abstractText
The planimetric Z-plasty proposed by Roggendorf provides elongation by excision of a pair of triangular pieces of tissue. The application of planimetric Z-plasties has been modified by making the vertical angle flexible, and making them continuous in the same or in opposite directions. Continuous planimetric Z-plasties in the same direction elongate an oblique contracture in the longitudinal direction. Continuous planimetric Z-plasties in an alternative direction elongate a disproportioned scar contracture in the longitudinal direction. Both techniques partially reduce unsightly scarring. Furthermore, they can be used in combination with V-Y-plasties. These modifications permit rational planing of the treatment of complicated scars with contracture.
