Abstract:
Grafting of posterior surfaces can be complicated by shear between the wound bed and the graft, resulting in graft failure. The quilted dressing is a simple, inexpensive, and effective method of dressing grafted posterior surfaces that does not rely on prone positioning or high air loss beds to facilitate graft stability.
