title: Use of a novel acellular dermal matrix allograft to treat complex trauma wound: a case study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the novel use of acellular dermal matrix allograft to treat a complex open fracture of the arm.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report outlining the steps taken to treat the fracture and soft tissue trauma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The complexity of the wound required multiple types of treatments that ultimately resulted in a healed fracture and full wound closure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Acellular dermal matrix has shown promise in closing the wound of a complex open fracture within the limitations of a single patient case study.
