A twenty five years old male with post traumatic post-surgical lower motor neuron type recovering paraparesis sustained bilateral ischial Grade-IV pressure ulcer. Hybrid reconstruction ladder was applied for the management of pressure ulcer. Here, in our study, we are evaluating the efficacy of hybrid reconstruction ladder in the management of pressure
ulcers. This type of reconstruction is being reported first time in the literature.
