<br/><br/> Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of contractubex  versus corticosteroid phonophoresis on hypertrophic scar after thermal burn Methods: 25 females and 5 males patients with hypertrophic scar after thermal burn ( 2 Months) they were divided randomly into two groups. Group (A) received Contractubex phonophoresis for 36 sessions (1 MHZ-1W/cm- pulsed),  the second Group (B) received Corticosteroid (Triamcenolone) phonophoresis for 36 sessions. Methods of evaluation (Modified Vancouver burn scar scale for  pliability-assessed by tonometer-, height and vascularity and dental impression material for scar volume). Results: Result showed that both Contractubex  phonophoresis and Corticosteroid phonophoresis were effective for treatment of hypertrophic scar after thermal burn, but Contractubex phonophoresis was more effective than Corticosteroid phonophoresis. Result: A clear improvement in  the results of hypertrophic scar was found in the group (A) than group (B)
