Abstract
The use of conjoint flaps based on the dorsalis pedis artery enabled a transfer of 3 free flaps-dorsalis pedis flap, fillet flap of the second toe, and trimmed large toe-to reconstruct a severely traumatized hand in a 12-year-old girl. High-voltage electrical burn injury had caused a large wound over the volar wrist and exposed the flexor tendons and median/ulnar nerves. In addition, she suffered a partial loss of the thumb and had an open wound at the base of the index finger. The application of the conjoint flaps restored hand function in a one-stage procedure.Entities:
