Use of Avulsed Skin Flap as Donor Site for Reconstruction of Total Forearm Skin Avulsion Injuries.

Avulsion injuries involving upper extremity are challenging in most cases. The musculoskeletal and main neurovascular parts on the injured region are unharmed. Even though the hand functions are maintained well, it is difficult to reconstruct large areas of defective skin. This specific case report demonstrates the mesh autograft methodology to successfully reconstruct the skin loss after a forearm skin avulsion injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
