Complex forearm trauma requires a multidisciplinary approach for optimal hand function. Surgical reconstruction aims to restore function for daily activities, integrating plastic and orthopedic expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Complex forearm trauma involves extensive damage to bone, muscle, skin, tendons, and neurovascular structures.
  • Restoring long-term hand function is the primary treatment objective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a framework for approaching complex forearm defects.
  • To discuss surgical options for reconstructing significant forearm tissue loss.

Main Methods:

  • Multidisciplinary team approach involving plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and rehabilitation therapists.
  • Focus on comprehensive reconstruction of multiple tissue types.

Main Results:

  • Surgical reconstruction aims to restore functional hand use for daily activities.
