Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of lateral arm free-flaps for hand thermal-crush injury.
Methods: 15 patients with hand thermal-crush injury were treated with emergency debridement and one-staged coverage with lateral arm free-flaps pedicled with deep brachial artery between January 2010 and December 2013. .
Results: Good results were achieved. All 15 flaps survived
Conclusions: Emergency debridement and reconstruction with lateral arm free-flap is a very effective method for hand thermal-crush injuries. Meanwhile, it also can reduce complications, shorten the duration of hospitalization and reduce health care costs.
