Split Skin Grafts of the Neck—Observations on Their Contraction and Relaxation
Linear measurements have been obtained in split skin grafts of the neck at operation and at subsequent periods post-operatively. The contraction of the split skin graft is believed to be prevented by (I) Application of moulded splints to support the graft, (2) Support by firm skin surrounding the gr...

| description | Linear measurements have been obtained in split skin grafts of the neck at operation and at subsequent periods post-operatively. The contraction of the split skin graft is believed to be prevented by (I) Application of moulded splints to support the graft, (2) Support by firm skin surrounding the graft. After maturation, skin graft appears to relax in certain linear dimensions. |
