What technique is beneficial for releasing nerve entrapment in burn patients?

Autologous fat grafting is a technique that involves harvesting fat from a patient’s own body and injecting it into areas where tissue has been damaged or lost, which can include areas affected by burns. This approach can help to restore volume and improve contour, providing a more aesthetically pleasing result. In burn patients, it can also facilitate the healing process by providing a biological scaffold that promotes tissue regeneration and can alleviate pressure on entrapped nerves, thus potentially releasing nerve entrapment.

The other options, while relevant to the care of burn patients, have different primary purposes. Pressure garment application is typically used to manage hypertrophic scarring and improve vascularity, while physical therapy exercises aim to maintain mobility and function post-burn. Topical anesthetics are used for pain relief but do not address the underlying structural issues related to nerve entrapment.
