Reconstruction of a nonhealing lick granuloma in a dog using a phalangeal fillet technique

J Am Anim Hosp Assoc. 2007 Sep-Oct;43(5):288-91. doi: 10.5326/0430288.

Abstract

A 6.5-year-old, castrated male Dalmatian was presented with a 3-month history of a chronic, nonhealing wound related to a previously excised lick granuloma. Reconstruction of the wound on the lateral metatarsal region was achieved using a phalangeal fillet technique, without digital pad transposition. The skin flap healed successfully with very good cosmetic and functional results.
