Abstract:Defects of the extremities due to high-energy trauma are common and it is necessary to repair these defects. Reconstruction is possible with simple surgeries using skin grafts and negative pressure therapy (NPT). In this study, we present our results of the reconstruction of extremity defects caused by high-energy trauma with a simple surgical procedure using NPT. Methods: Patients with soft tissue defects of the upper and lower extremities caused by high energy trauma, who were treated with NPT between Novemb… Show more
