Split-Thickness Skin Graft Attachment to Bone Lacking Periosteum

Abstract

To develop an animal model to investigate the survival of split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) on bone without periosteum, to compare STSG attachment to bone with and without periosteum, and to determine the effect of fibrin glue on STSG attachment to bone.

Improvement of Full-Thickness Skin Graft Survival by Application of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Rats

“…38 Although the results showed that VEGF can improve take of skin graft in a rich vascularized recipient bed, 39 the effect of VEGF on graft survival is more significant when skin grafting on a recipient bed with poor blood supply.…”

Modified nasal dermoplasty technique for treatment of recurrent polyposis: preliminary results

“…Crusting may lead to nasal obstruction and a foul odour, requiring frequent saline rinsing (Figure 6). Others have noted that graft survival rates are high within the well protected nasal cavity 15 . A literature search identified no reports of increased rates of squamous cell carcinoma in the nasal cavity.…”

Long-term outcomes of nail bed reconstruction

“…Therefore, we placed a thin flap and subsequently performed nail bed grafting. However, it is not always necessary to perform a two-stage operation in all cases with bone exposure, because grafting the nail bed on the periosteum can provide a result that is better than expected [8]. In our cases, we placed a nail bed graft over the exposed bone when the defect was relatively small.…”
