Sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident.
A history and physical exam is key by a plastic/hand surgeon who specializes in burns. It looks like you have a contracture of the hand/digits that likely is full thickness compromising movement. You may need a release by either Z-plasty or reconstruction utilizing artificial skin/full-thickness skin graft or a flap after excision of the scar. Goal is to provide function and fine motor dexterity with preservation of sensation.
Hope this helps.
