Abstract:
Pinch grafting offers an alternative approach to conventional management of chronic leg ulcers, and is particularly well suited for venous and diabetic ulcers. Relevant literature from 1872-1998 was reviewed. The method of pinch grafting is described here in detail, and is illustrated by two case reports. Since pinch grafting hastens the healing of granulating wounds, is easy to perform and does not require strict immobilisation, a revival of the method, with adaptation for primary care, should be encouraged.
