Abstract
Introduction: Soft tissue defects are more commonly seen in the extremities following high velocity trauma & occupational injuries posing countless challenges in their management. Early flaps or skin grafts reduce the chance of infections in the soft tissue defects. Both are done after thorough surgical debridement. In some cases wound related and patient related factors won’t allow early coverage of these defects.
