I have a skin graft on my knee, if I fall down and it bleeds and the skin tears,!


Question:

I have a skin graft on my knee, if I fall down and it bleeds and the skin tears, what should I do?

If let's say the wound is only a normal wound whereas if it's on normal skin, no stitches will be needed.


Answers:

thats absolutely right, there are so many variables,

how long ago was your graft done? for what reason? is it a graft or a flap? full thickness or partial? dependent on blood supply? has the blood pooled beneath the graft?

etc - go back to your surgeon!

best of luck!
