Published: May 2024

In hand and upper extremity replantation surgery, simultaneous free flap reconstruction restores the physiologic circulation to the amputated part, ensuring its survival, and promotes wound healing through anatomic restoration. Especially in digit replantation, an arterialized venous flap serves to reconstruct both vessel and soft tissue defects simultaneously. Delayed free flap reconstruction aims to enhance both functional improvement and cosmetic acceptance in a successfully replanted part using flaps that include functioning muscle, bone, joint, nerve, and soft tissue.
