Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the role of skin grafts in the functional repair of lower extremity ulcerations. METHODS: The indications, types of skin grafts, and the methods of harvesting grafts are described. RESULTS: Detailed description of our method of bedside split-thickness skin grafting with both pinch and mesh grafts in hospitalized patients is given. We also discuss post-operative care and complications seen with skin grafting. CONCLUSION: Split-thickness skin grafting offers an important therapeutic option in the treatment of lower extremity ulcerations.
