Autologous fat grafting in the treatment of a scleroderma stump-skin ulcer: a case report

Abstract

Here we describe the case of a 60‐year‐old-woman with systemic sclerosis sent to our Scleroderma Unit to treat digital stumps. The stumps were successfully treated with autologous fat grafting (crown-shape infiltration). Our technique of autologous lipotransfer improved wound healing in a scleroderma patient with stump-digital ulcers where all other options failed.
