Abstract

Degloving injuries of the upper extremity may require extensive soft tissue coverage. Free tissue transfer is often useful in the management of these injuries. We describe the use of an extended rectus abdominis myofasciocutaneous vascularized free flap in the management of a massive longitudinal upper extremity traumatic soft tissue defect.
