Loss of the sole.
The sole of the foot in a wood merchant was lost when he trod on a circular saw which had been placed on the ground. The foot was resurfaced by immediate split skin grafts, and the result proved very satisfactory. The immediate grafting procedure took on the cancellous bone, and as an emergency procedure it is recommended while thought is being given to more elaborate procedures such as cross leg flap grafts or even amputation.
