The Radial Forearm Fascial Flap as a Salvage Procedure for Chronic Tuberculosis of the Hand and Wrist

C. CEDIDI

From the Department of Burns, Plastic and Hand Surgery, Berufgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik, Luwigshafen, Germany

Correspondence: Dr med. C. Cedidi, Berufsgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik, Abteilung Verbrennungen, Plastische- und Handchirurgie, Ludwig-Guttmann-Strasse 13, 67071 Ludwigshafen, Germany.

A patient with tuberculous infection of the hand and wrist developed a recurrent draining wound of the right forearm. After recurrent failure of surgical débridement and wound closure under antituberculous therapy, wound closure was established by means of a radial forearm fascial flap with an excellent functional and cosmetic result. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis must be kept in mind in the diagnosis of slowly growing tumours and chronic wounds in the upper extremity.
