Abstract

Degloving Injury are major debilitating conditions and its treatment is also challenging. The treatment of post traumatic degloving injury requires a multimodal approach. Adjuvant platelet rich fibrin matrix can be tried for post traumatic wounds as a modality for wound bed preparation. In this study we share our experience regarding the use of stromal vascular fraction as an adjunct in the management of post-traumatic degloving wounds of the lower extremity.
