Contracture Deformity
Definition:
A contracture is a tightening of muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement.
A contracture develops when the normally elastic (stretchy) connective tissues are replaced by inelastic (non-stretchy) fiber-like tissue. This makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement.
Contractures occur primarily in the skin, underlying tissues, muscle, tendons, and joint areas. The most common causes are scarring and lack of use (due to immobilization or inactivity).
Common Causes:
Inherited disorders (such as muscular dystrophy)
Injury (including burns)
Nerve damage
Reduced use (for example, from immobilization)
