A. MOMENI

From the Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, University of Freiburg Medical Centre, Germany

Correspondence: Corresponding author. Arash Momeni, M.D., Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, University of Freiburg Medical Center, Hugstetter Strasse 55, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. Tel.: +49 761 270 2817; fax: +49 761 270 2501. E-mail: arash_ali{at}yahoo.de

The free fibular flap has been used extensively in facial and extremity long bone reconstruction but has not been presented as a tool for reconstruction following composite hand injuries, in particular for reconstruction of the ulnar border of the hand. We present a case of the use of this flap for reconstruction of such a complex composite hand injury.

Key Words: composite hand injury • osteocutaneous free fibular flap
