Abstract
Combined upper extremity injuries involving both bone and soft tissue destruction are commonly referred to as “mangled hands”. These injuries often involve a twisting or crushing mechanism or are the result of a high energy trauma, and their reconstruction requires a knowledge of both advanced orthopedic and plastic surgery techniques – the epitome of an orthoplastic approach. In this review, we outline 10 decisions and technical steps to optimize the outcomes in these complex injuries. Specifically, we discuss why the integrity of the soft tissue envelope, or lack thereof, predicates our algorithm with regard to limb salvage and reconstruction.
