# Microgranular Skin Grafting for a Sacral Pressure Injury: A Case Report

## TL;DR

This case report shows that microgranular skin grafting successfully healed a severe sacral pressure injury in a paraplegic patient.

## Contribution

Demonstrates the effectiveness of microgranular skin grafting as a less invasive treatment for chronic pressure injuries.

## Key findings

- Microgranular skin grafting led to complete epithelialization within 30 days.
- The patient experienced a significantly reduced hospital stay compared to traditional methods.

## Abstract

Pressure injury (PI) is an adverse event and a global issue. This case report examines the efficacy of microgranular skin grafting in treating a sacral stage III pressure injury in a 49-year-old male patient with paraplegia due to a severe car accident 15 years prior. Conventional wound management had failed, leading to worsening ulcers. After thorough debridement and preparation, microgranular skin grafting was performed, resulting in complete epithelialization within 30 days. The patient's recovery was smooth, with a significant reduction in hospital stay compared to traditional methods. This case highlights the potential benefits of microgranular skin grafting in managing chronic pressure injuries, offering a less invasive and more effective alternative.
