A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. PubMed\/MEDLINE and Embase were searched through February 2026. Studies evaluating follicular unit grafts, split\u2010thickness scalp grafts or hair follicle\u2010derived biologic preparations for chronic wounds were included. The primary endpoint was the proportion of wounds achieving complete re\u2010epithelialization during study follow\u2010up. Secondary outcomes included overall closure rates, time to closure, wound area reduction and adverse events. Sixteen studies comprising 239 patients were included. Follicular unit grafts demonstrated high overall closure rates (84% across 80 wounds). Split\u2010thickness scalp grafts achieved 100% complete healing across 54 wounds, with rapid healing times (24\u201335\u2009days). Biologic follicular preparations showed variable efficacy, with closure rates ranging from 30% to 100% across 70 wounds. Comparative studies consistently demonstrated superior wound healing with hair follicle\u2010containing grafts relative to inter\u2010wound or between\u2010patient controls. Adverse events were limited and mild. Hair follicle\u2010based grafting may be a potential solution for chronic nonhealing wounds, particularly in recalcitrant wounds. However, heterogeneity in study design and outcome reporting highlights the need for standardized, high\u2010quality trials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.71069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]],"date-time":"2026-10-06T22:55:50Z","timestamp":1791327350000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hair Follicle\u2010Derived Grafting for Chronic Cutaneous Wounds: A Systematic Review of Clinical Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3314-0096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mara","family":"Hartoyo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Miami Miller School of Medicine  Miami Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1177-6594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mounika","family":"Vattigunta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Miami Miller School of Medicine  Miami Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8394-3503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose A.","family":"Jaller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery University of Miami Miller School of Medicine  Miami Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/wound.2021.0026"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/21621918251359554"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13555-025-01564-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41392-020-00441-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.xjidi.2021.100041"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.70973"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/DSS.0000000000004571"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.abd.2023.08.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/DSS.0000000000001748"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/JCAS.JCAS_38_17"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","first-page":"109","article-title":"Optimizing Skin Grafting Using Hair\u2010Derived Skin Grafts: The Healing Potential of Hair Follicle Pluripotent Stem Cells","volume":"28","author":"Fox J.
