Abstract
Mangled upper extremity, as a result of trauma, is a life-altering event requiring a multidisciplinary approach for a successful outcome. All attempts are made to salvage the extremity and preserve function, which may require multiple complex procedures. This paper discusses the importance of a systematic reconstructive sequence and provides a review of commonly utilized techniques, supported with illustrative cases.
