Outcomes of Chronically Anticoagulated Patients Undergoing Split-Thickness Skin Grafting for Diabetic Foot Ulcers.

Objective: Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is commonly used for wound closure in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). In many cases, patients with diabetes present on long-term anticoagulation therapy. The complications associated with anticoagulants can be discouraging to surgeons considering STSG.
