Extensive soft tissue defects can be complicated by systemic diseases (trophic ulcers in diabetes mellitus, chronic arterial insufficiency) or the result of trauma (domestic, military, operating, etc.). The current increase in the incidence of this pathology is due to the spread of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. Closing an infected long-term non-healing wound, such as a tendon or bone, is one of the most difficult tasks of reconstructive surgery. For example, the use of classical methods of closing wound conditions is difficult to a degree due to the patient's polymorbid background. The clinical case presented in the article shows the possibility of closing deep shin wound with a complex relief by the transplantation of autologous adipose tissue, a patient with severe concomitant pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
