Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Wound Management

Background:

  • Selecting optimal local flaps for upper extremity reconstruction is complex.
  • Existing methods may lack a standardized, generalized approach.
  • A systematic framework can aid in decision-making for wound coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a generalized approach for selecting preferable local flaps in upper extremity wound coverage.
  • To establish a foundational framework for logical divergence in flap selection.
  • To present a schematic representation of available flap options.

Main Methods:

  • Review of available local flap options for upper extremity reconstruction.
  • Development of a generalized selection algorithm based on flap characteristics.

  • Schematic presentation of the decision-making process.

    • Main Results:

    • A systematic approach for local flap selection in the upper extremity was developed.
    • The proposed framework provides a basis for choosing preferable flaps for wound coverage.
    • Schematic diagrams illustrate the decision-making pathway.

    Conclusions:

    • A generalized approach to local flap selection for upper extremity wound coverage is feasible and beneficial.
    • This framework can serve as a foundation for plastic surgery decision-making.
    • The schematic presentation aids in understanding and applying the selection process.
