Extensor Tendon and Coverage Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Defect in a Case of Trauma to Dorsal Hand

Abstract

A case of soft tissue defect of dorsal hand due to crush injury in a 37-year-old female is reported here. The reconstructive surgery was performed for the hand soft-tissue defect. Among different flaps used in the surgery, the regional flap such as radial forearm flap can be done. But usually it is not accepted by patient because of cosmetic appearance. Therefore, random pattern abdominal flap and extensor tendon reconstruction were done concurrently.
