Abstract
Autologous fat grafting is commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, but its indications are less well known in the hand surgery literature. Autologous fat grafting is frequently used for its anti-inflammatory, proangiogenic, and regenerative properties, which can be useful in treating the hand and upper extremity. We present a summary of the current literature on autologous fat grafting in the hand and upper extremity and discuss the applications, outcomes, techniques, safety, and level of evidence.
