FLAP FOR SKIN DEFECT RECONSTRUCTION

Summary: A combination of degloving injury of the fingers and mutilation of other fingers with skin defect may be treated urgently with a combination
of arterialised pedicle flaps from the forearm and distant axial pattern flap. This combination is an alternative to the combination
of posterior interosseous and lateral arm flap. Application of flaps urgently in emergencies does not increase risk of complications
and shortens hospitalisation time.
In this article we present the case of a 26-year-old male who sustained a serious injury of the right hand. The patient underwent urgent
skin defect reconstruction performed by posterior interosseous and hypogastric flap combination. Although it is not usual to make
a combination of flaps urgently, the final outcome is satisfactory. The authors wish to point out that radical primary reconstructive procedures
give equivalent outcome to delayed reconstruction.
