Two patients with open foot and ankle fractures were treated with aggressive irrigation and debridement and acute placement of a dermal regeneration template (DRT) followed by split-thickness skin grafting. Patient 1 was an 82-year-old female with a type IIIB open ankle fracture complexed with 2 significant regions of soft tissue loss. Patient 2 was a 54-year-old male with type IIIB open metatarsal fractures. Both patients healed without complication.
Complex open fractures in lower extremities can be managed with acute DRT application. This may be a more cost-effective solution compared to free flaps.
两名足踝开放性骨折患者接受了积极的冲洗和清创,并在急性清创后立即放置真皮再生模板(DRT),随后进行中厚皮片移植。患者1为82岁女性,患有IIIB型开放性踝关节骨折,并伴有2个严重的软组织缺损区域。患者2为54岁男性,患有IIIB型开放性跖骨骨折。两名患者均愈合良好,无并发症。
下肢复杂开放性骨折可通过急性应用DRT进行治疗。与游离皮瓣相比,这可能是一种更具成本效益的解决方案。
