“…A range of flaps offering greater thickness and cushioning are frequently used in weight‐bearing areas 1,2 . Alternatives include secondary intention healing 3 and skin grafts 4 . Previous studies have suggested that dermal substitutes and STSGs may ease reconstruction by adding extra tissue to soften the impact on weight‐bearing areas 5,6 .…”

Reconstruction of surgical defects after wide local excision of acral melanoma on the sole should allow patients to walk and bear weight. Moreover, certain options such as local transposition flaps can compromise follow‐up. We present a case series of surgical defects on weight‐bearing areas of the sole reconstructed using a synthetic dermal matrix and a split‐thickness skin graft. This approach prevents surrounding tissue displacement and results in good functional outcomes assessed by baropodometry and computer‐based podoscopy.

Dermal substitutes: an alternative for the reconstruction of large full-thickness defects in the plantar surface

Large defects in plantar surface secondary to acral melanoma excision can be difficult to repair with local flaps, and skin grafts in weight-bearing surfaces often suffer necrosis causing prolonged disability. Acellular dermal matrices represent an easy alternative to cover deep wounds or those with bone or tendon exposure. Despite their high cost and the requirement of two surgical procedures, this alternative may offer excellent functional and aesthetic results in acral defects.
