Several methods are used to close the excised burn wound including split skin grafts, allografts, synthetic skin substitutes and more recently cultured epithelial autografts (CEA's). These include the use of arthroscopic lavage or debridement, radio frequency energy, bone drilling, osteochondral autografts or allografts, internal fixation of bone fragments, and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI).
