It's a way of regrowing skin. Like an alternative way to do a skin graft

[–]techwriterguy 5 points6 points ago

It is a medical procedure known as a walking-stalk skin flap or a waltzing tube pedicle. You can read about it here.

[–]PointyOintment 1 point2 points ago

Correct.

[–]lululxgend 4 points5 points ago

looks like a procedure to grow new skin, it means the skin has a good blood supply and does not die like a skin graft may. its called a PEDICLE GRAFT

Alternative skin graft. Basically he lost skin covering his thumb, and they're using leg skin to regrow it.
