Abstract
Positioning extremities after soft-tissue reconstructive procedures can be difficult, particularly when flaps or skin grafts have been placed for posterior or circumferential defects. We describe a method using the patient's existing external fixator, when present, to aid in the postoperative care and positioning of the patient.
