Severe swelling and skin necrosis are not uncommon following foot and ankle surgery, particularly trauma surgeries. A skin suture technique is presented that has the advantages of being simple, providing good skin eversion and apposition with minimal tension and risk of ischemia, and being easy to remove. The suture technique has been used by the authors for the past 2 years on all foot and ankle trauma and reconstructive cases in which severe swelling was anticipated. There have been no instances of skin necrosis, significant epidermolysis, or dehiscence, and the appearance of the scar is acceptable.
足踝手术后出现严重肿胀和皮肤坏死并不罕见，尤其是创伤手术。本文介绍一种皮肤缝合技术，该技术具有操作简单、能在最小张力和缺血风险下实现良好的皮肤外翻和对合，且易于拆除的优点。在过去两年中，作者将该缝合技术用于所有预计会出现严重肿胀的足踝创伤和重建病例。未出现皮肤坏死、明显表皮松解或裂开的情况，瘢痕外观也可接受。
