Hi doctor, I met with self RTA on 31 Aug 2018 at 10.20 pm: Got admitted in hospital that night in emergency ward. I had sustained injury on my left foot in contact with a stone. As per the diagnosis, I had deep wound on my left foot; loss of tissue and tendons were expose on 4th and 5th toe. Few x-rays were taken on the same day and I was asked to go for reconstructive plastic surgery. I had to go through debridement of wound, k - wiring of 4th and 5th toe and surgery as per the observation in operation theater. I underwent surgery and had Debridement and SSG and Right thigh STSG harvested on 1st of Sep and it is 1 and 1/2 month that my wound is healing. I am massaging left foot and right donor side thigh with virgin coconut oil 2 times a day. Along with that I am applying Contractubex ointment in both the areas 2 times. I am doing these both massage for 30 min each time 4 times in a day. Also using pressure garment on both the sides throughout the day. Please suggest if this is the treatment and if anything else needs to be done for graft to be fine.
