Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The expected outcome according to the literature is that the scars resulting from the surgical treatment of burn sequelae with the use of dermal matrices have a better tissue quality. This comparison will be made between the groups using matrix and the control group that did not use it by evaluating clinical characteristics through Vancouver scar scale and biomechanical characteristics through the durometer and Cutometer® appliances after 6 months postoperatively. | — |
