Local flaps of the hand

[Article in Danish]

Abstract

Hand injuries are common, and due to the complex functions of the hand, soft tissue defects present a surgical challenge in reconstruction. Hand defects exposing deeper structures warrant reconstruction with local flaps, but in Denmark, reconstruction surgery of the hand is routinely managed within the orthopaedic specialty alone with no plastic surgical involvement. This review aims at describing the most common local flaps of the hand and forearm and encourage to stronger collaboration between hand- and plastic surgeons in Denmark.
