Combined AlloDerm® and thin skin grafting for the treatment of postburn dyspigmented scar contracture of the upper extremity
SJ Oh, Y Kim - Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery, 2011 - Elsevier
Postburn dyspigmented scar contractures of the upper extremity often require aesthetic
improvement. The ideal reconstruction of this deformity remains a challenge because the
various available skin grafts and flaps result in skin colour mismatches, prominent marginal
scars and donor morbidity. Postburn scar contractures and dyspigmented areas of the upper
extremity can be improved by a combination of dermabrasion and Alloderm® graft over scar-
releasing defect. Their raw surfaces are subsequently re-surfaced with thin split-thickness …
