Thin partial-thickness (0.063 cm), medium (0.127 cm) partial-thickness, and full-thickness skin autografts were transplanted to experimental granulating foreleg wounds of dogs. Thin partial-thickness grafts had an 89% survival, medium partial-thickness grafts had 47% survival, and full-thickness grafts had a 58% survival. Of the successful grafts, only the thin partial-thickness grafts did not grow adequate hair after transplantation.
