Description
Amin Yassin and co-authors report a wound case treated with a graft from the tensor fascia lata, a band of tissue on the thigh. A thirty-two-year-old soldier took shrapnel in the left forearm during combat. The blast cut the tendons of three fingers plus the ulnar nerve and artery.
In their 2026 case report, surgeons repaired the damage and laid a full-thickness graft over the wound as a stand-in skin layer. Negative-pressure therapy ran alongside the graft. By the third week, strong new tissue had formed, so a plain skin graft could close the wound without a flap. At seven weeks the man bent his fingers well, with only mild disability reported.
