“…Soft tissue expansion prior to ankle replacement has been described previously by Save et al 27 They report implanting a subcutaneous balloon laterally in 2 patients with multiple prior surgeries and scars, with serial saline injections into the balloon to expand the soft tissue envelope over 4-7 weeks. They subsequently removed the balloons and proceeded with TAR-AA with no wound complications.…”

“…Additionally, multiple authors have reported other methods to mitigate this risk including the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), 18 continuous external tissue expanders, 14 offloading splints, 11 compressive wraps, 13,28 amniotic membrane application, 3 and preoperative implantable soft tissue expanders. 27 Each of these methods has its own benefits and limitations; most are either costly, invasive, or both.…”
