Fat grafting (FG) combined with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) successfully promoted granulation tissue formation in a complex lower limb wound with exposed bone. This innovative approach accelerated healing and avoided more complex reconstructive surgeries.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Regenerative Medicine
- Wound Healing
Background:
- Complex lower limb wounds with bone exposure pose significant reconstructive challenges.
- Traditional treatments may involve extensive debridement and complex flap surgeries.
- Limited literature exists on the combined use of fat grafting and negative pressure wound therapy for such defects.
