Abstract
- Skin grafting of traumatic finger amputations and concave raw surfaces poses special problems for skin grafting. In grafting finger amputations, oozing of blood tends to form a film of blood separating the graft from the raw amputation site. In concave raw surfaces, the skin must be made to conform to the concave surface. A technique of secure fixation of the graft allowing for frequent irrigation of the graft affords a better chance for a good skin graft take. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
