Keywords:
Non healing wound, Split thickness skin graft (STSG), Full thickness skin graft (FTSG)Abstract
Now a days skin grafting has utmost importance in plastic surgery & dermatological conditions. Skin grafts are used for variety of conditions but generally avoided in the management of more complex wounds. Conditions with deep spaces and exposed bones normally require the use of skin flaps or muscle flaps.
