Grafting without a donor site: an easy approach to pretibial lacerations
1Accident and Emergency Department, Edgware General Hospital, UK.
Abstract:
Pretibial lacerations are a common soft tissue injury especially amongst elderly women. An alternative repair approach to this problem is described. The traumatized and often necrosed-looking flap of skin from the injured area is made into a full thickness 'fenestrated' skin graft to cover the defect. Experience of 30 cases shows the method to be useful for accident and emergency departments as well as surgical units. The healing time is shorter than in conservative methods and similar to 'meshed split skin grafting' as an out-patient procedure, but the great advantage is the absence of a donor site.
