Abstract: Reconstruction of degloving injuries to the foot sole is highly challenging because of its complex anatomy and functional requirements of weight-bearing surfaces. These wounds, which frequently stems from high-energy trauma, can cause significant soft tissue loss that exposes underlying structures and compromise function. One of the mainstays of the reconstructive arsenal for these kinds of injuries has been split thickness skin grafts (STSGs), which provide a dependable way to restore skin covering and speed up the healing process. This case report describes a successful example of employing STSGs to repair a degloved foot sole.
