Fig. 9From: Hyperpigmentation after surgery for a deep dermal burn of the dorsum of the hand: partial-thickness debridement followed by medium split-thickness skin grafting vs full-thickness debridement followed by thick split-thickness skin graftingDifferences in the weighted mean value of intensity of red, green, and blue (RGB) color components. The absolute values of Δred intensity, Δgreen intensity, and Δblue intensity were significantly higher in the partial-thickness debridement (PTD) group than those in the full-thickness debridement (FTD) group. Differences (graft-control) in all three color components of the RGB color space (red, green, and blue) in the PTD group were negative, indicating that the graft is darker than the controlBack to article page
