Abstract
Soft tissue coverage of the hand remains a challenging problem to the hand surgeon, but advances in the field of microsurgery have provided improved thin, pliable, durable flaps that offer cosmetic reconstructive options. The reconstructive elevator is poised to replace the reconstructive ladder, thereby allowing early reconstruction by the best available option. This reviews focus on the variety of pedicled, free fasciocutaneous, and venous flaps available for successful soft tissue coverage of the hand.
