Abstract: Coverage of Exposed Lower Extremity Bypass Vascular Graft with Integra and NPWT for Limb Salvage

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report on our treatment of 6 limbs in 3 patients (age range, 19–36 years). In each case we applied fat graft at the medial side of the limb 150–175 cc. There were minimal deformity (Langenskiöld stage 1), patients had only aesthetic complaint, not pain or osteoartrit.The varus angulation at the tibia was measured and osteoarthritis was evaluated with radiographs.Patien...
