description A fifteen-year-old female patient presented with a severe bilateral groin contracture for the last 8 years. She had sustained burns at the age of seven years. Three attempts to release the contracture with split thickness skin grafts had been done without success.

Postoperatively the patient healed well without any complications and was able to achieve hip abduction of about 130 degrees.
