Crush injury of wrist and forearm with extensive degloving of the skin - Skin Grafting and Debridements

21 year old young Tanvir Fatima suffered a runover by a heavy vehicle over left hand, wrist and forearm. To her luck, there was no injury to the vascular supply of the hand, and it was only a degloving of the skin around the wrist and distal forearm. The devitalised skin was derided and negative pressure dressing was applied to improve the wound.

The final wound coverage was done by split thickness skin grafting. Complete functional rehabilitation of the hand and wrist apart from good take of the skin graft was achieved after 6 weeks after the final wound closure procedure.
