Abstract
The reconstructive ladder discusses progressively more difficult soft tissue coverage methods for wound coverage and healing. Regenerative medicine modalities can be added to conventional reconstructive methods, making it a hybrid reconstruction ladder, which may make it easier to achieve wound coverage at a lower 'rung'. We have used the hybrid reconstruction ladder in an adult patient with scald burns with significant clinical improvement.
