Abstract
The use of free flaps for coverage of the deeply burned hand has advantages that include the salvage of the exposed vessels, nerves, tendons, joints, and bone; a single operation to obtain wound closure, minimizing the risk of infection; and earlier physical therapy. This article focuses on the choice of suitable free flaps for the coverage of the deeply burned hand; and it also presents some case reports.
