Abstract
A dermal substitute, Integra (Integra Neurosciences Implants SA, Sophia Antipolis, France) artificial skin, was used for wound management on three children with lower limb injuries in our institutions. In one case this biosynthetic material was applied directly to a bony surface (patella). This technique allows an early wound coverage and provides a satisfactory preparation for autograft. It can be a useful adjunct in the treatment of severe tissue defects in child limb injuries.
