  • Title: Two immediate synchronous free flap transfers in a severe traumatic mid-hand defect: a case report.
    Author: Lin CH, Wei FC.
    Journal: Microsurgery; 1995; 16(8):586. PubMed ID: 8538439.
    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old patient sustained a severe right hand injury resulting in a thumb pulp defect and unreplantable amputation of the index, long, and ring fingers at the metacarpophalangeal joint with joint exposure. There was also an 8 cm defect of the radial digital nerve of the little finger. Immediate one-stage total reconstruction of all of the defects was accomplished by a free groin flap and a free glabrous skin flap from the foot. Opposable function of the hand was thus preserved.
