Use of an innervated skin graft to provide sensation to the reconstructed heel.
Abstract
An innervated skin graft--a full-thickness skin graft with its nerve supply intact--is presented. In the case described, the sural nerve was preserved and an island of skin supplied by it was transposed to provide sensation to a heel pad, which had first been reconstructed by a cross-thigh flap. This transposed sensation has allowed full activity for 3 years in a young boy wearing normal footwear. This suggests that ulceration of all, or most, heel reconstructions is due to lack of sensation and, further, that the necessary sensation can be provided by this technically simple transposition of an innervated skin graft.
