title: [Use of Integra in a case of extensive upper extremity avulsion].
abstract: Authors performed successful skin replacement with Integra, a dermal regeneration template, on a patient with circumferential avulsion injury including the elbow region and the dorsum of the hand. The take rate of Integra was 97%, followed by a 98% take rate of the split thickness mesh graft used for final wound coverage. Treatment modality provided excellent aesthetic and functional results, underlining the role of Integra in cases of extensive traumatic skin and soft tissue deficit, such as the treatment of avulsion injury.
