A man was cleaning his gun while hunting when the weapon discharged, causing a comminuted calcaneal fracture. Treatment challenges included the patient’s advanced age, the fact that his posterior tibial artery was out, and that he suffered from peripheral vascular disease.
After a failed free flap, Dr. Arnold, Professor and Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Chief of Staff at University of Mississippi Medical Center, used an acellular dermal matrix and negative pressure wound therapy to successfully close the wound.
In this case-specific webinar, Dr. Arnold discusses:
-
- His approach when free flap failed
- The challenges of vascular disease with this patient
- The lasting side effects of the donor site wound
