Reconstruction of Traumatic Defect of the Lower Third of the Leg Using a Combined Therapy:  Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, Acellular Dermal Matrix, and Skin Graft

<table>(a) Preoperative aspect before surgical debridement. (b) After debridement, the exposure of extensor hallucis longus and digitorum longus muscles tendons can be observed. (c) Aspect of wound covered using an acellular dermal matrix (ADM). (d) A partial thickness skin graft placed on regenerated dermal tissue. After debridement, ADM placement, and skin grafting we used a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). (e) Optimal aesthetic outcome was achieved at long-term follow-up (6 months after skin grafting).</table>
