Article Synopsis
- Harvesting split thickness skin grafts (STSG) from the anterior chest and abdomen is challenging due to anatomical issues like irregular surfaces and lax skin.
- Extensive burns on the lower extremities often prevent the use of this common donor site, leading to the need for alternative harvesting locations.
- The study showed that using K-wire assisted techniques for STSG harvesting in patients with lower extremity burns was successful, with no complications during or after the procedure, suggesting it should be a standard option for surgeons dealing with such cases.
