  • Title: Split-skin grafting in the management of extensive neuropathic ulceration.
    Author: Masson EA, Cooper MA, Boulton AJ.
    Journal: Diabet Med; 1989 Mar; 6(2):171-2. PubMed ID: 2522862.
    Abstract:
    Neuropathic foot ulceration can lead to long periods of in-patient treatment, and healing time is related to the size of the skin defect. We report a case where most of the skin was lost from the plantar surface of the foot, and healing was dramatically assisted by the application of split-skin grafts, a technique seldom considered for the treatment of diabetic foot lesions.
