Abstract
The plantar skin is the best donor site for grafting third-degree burn wounds onto volar aspect of hands and digits. In children, however, it is difficult to harvest the instep for a split-thickness graft. Most of these cases are treated with full-thickness or split-thickness skin grafts and dyspigmentation of the grafted area becomes a reality. We present a case of full-thickness graft hyperpigmentation that was treated with instep plantar graft.Entities:
