“…It happened that, again, surprisingly enough, the flap managed to protect the knee joint and this child recovered with good knee function. Some authors recommend the utilization of skin allograft and keratinocyte culture [6,21,22]. These treatments could be useful to maintain a healthy graft-bed until definitive autologous grafting can be performed.…”

Wounds can be slow to heal and, where amputation has occurred, several operations may be needed in order to accommodate prostheses [10].…”
