Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
- Microsurgery
Background:
- Complex hand and wrist wounds often require specialized reconstructive techniques.
- Traditional flaps may necessitate secondary procedures or present significant bulk.
- The temporo-parietal fascia (TPF) flap is a potential alternative for wound coverage.
