ABSTRACT
Variable methods have been using for reconstruction of soft tissue defect of feet and legs. Skin graft, local flap, and free flap have been using for this purpose. But, skin graft produced secondary contracture of recipient site and increased in donor site scarring. Local flap was limited its donor site and remained severe deformities of recipient site. Free flap was required prolonged operation time and secondary operation. Acelluar human dermal allograft, AlloDerm, was removed cellular elements of the epidermis and dermis. It was relatively immunologically inert. From August 1997 to April 1998, we have grafted acellular human dermal allograft with thin split-thickness skin graft on soft tissue defect of feet and legs in 7 cases. We concluded that cryopreserved acelluar human dermal allograft has been proposed as the solution to problems of skin graft, local flap, and free flap.
