- Authors

- Abstract
Deep burns of the shoulder region quite often result in the exposure of the joint. Either a partially or completely exposed shoulder joint surrounded by burnt tissue presents difficulty for coverage by local tissues. A case of deep burn with partially exposed joint, where successful coverage was carried out by a local fascio-cutaneous supra clavicular artery forked flap is presented. The flap was based on two perforators from the peripheral distribution area of the supra-clavicular artery and proved to be a good flap in such circumstances
