    Author: Baker WH, Barnes RW, Shurr DG.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1977 Jun; 133(6):716-8. PubMed ID: 869121.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate the effect of wound dressing upon wound healing, fifty-one patients undergoing below-knee amputation using a long posterior myocutaneous flap technic were randomly allocated into a soft or plaster dressing group. Neither wound dressing technic proved superior, as wounds healed in 85.2 per cent of the plaster dressing group and 83.3 per cent of the soft dressing group.
