This poster presents a case series where meshed human reticular acellular dermal matrix (HR-ADM) was used as a backup strategy in soft tissue reconstruction when flap procedures were at risk of failure. In five patients with complex wounds, HR-ADM supported tissue ingrowth, allowing delayed closure or secondary healing even after complications like dehiscence or flap failure. The findings suggest HR-ADM can serve as a valuable scaffold to protect vital structures and reduce the need for more complex surgical interventions.

This poster presents a case series evaluating meshed human reticular acellular dermal matrix (HR-ADM) combined with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for patients with extremity wounds involving soft tissue loss and periosteal stripping. Among seven patients treated, 86% achieved wound closure, with some healing without skin grafting, suggesting HR-ADM with NPWT may offer a less invasive alternative to flap reconstruction for complex open fractures.

This poster highlights two pediatric limb salvage cases where aseptically processed placental and dermal allografts were used to stabilize complex lower extremity wounds prior to reconstruction. Both patients achieved wound closure and ambulation, with the allografts supporting angiogenesis, reducing inflammation, and preparing the wound bed for definitive coverage. The findings suggest that placental and dermal allografts may play a valuable role in improving outcomes for challenging pediatric trauma cases.
