Flap-Free Tendon Coverage Using Autologous Fat Grafts Enhanced with Platelet-Rich Plasma and Growth Factors at a Secondary Level Hospital: A Case Report
This case illustrates the potential of autologous fat grafting combined with PRP and growth factors as a viable, flap-free alternative for covering tendon exposures. This approach not only enhances wound healing but also supports functional recovery, underscoring the need for further research into its broader applicative potentials.
