    The study evaluated the effects of artificial dermal composite grafting on joint function and scar healing in patients with joint scar contracture.

  • 2

    A total of 130 patients were included, divided into a control group receiving split-thickness skin grafts and an intervention group receiving artificial dermis.

  • 3

    The intervention group had a significantly lower one-year postoperative recontracture rate compared to the control group (6.15% vs. 32.31%, P < 0.001).

  • 4

    Improvements in active and passive range of motion, as well as scar appearance, were significantly greater in the intervention group at multiple follow-up points.

  • 5

    Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group at 1, 3, and 12 months postoperatively.
