Management of Complex Forearm Injuries: Our Strategy of Reconstruction and Clinical Results.

The management of complex forearm injuries is challenging, not only because of the anatomical complexity of the region but also because of the dramatic functional consequences of these injuries. Preservation of the upper limb and restoration of hand function are the focus of the surgical management of these injuries. Decision making will consider several parameters such as the type of injury, the patient, the moment of reconstruction, the debridement, and the options available for reconstruction.
