[Reliable Flaps for Congenitally Malformed Hands]. Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir. 2017 Feb;49(1):20-28 Authors: Piza-Katzer H, Wenger A Abstract Congenital hand malformations are rare, but hand function and aesthetics cannot be improved by surgery in every affected child. However, whenever this is possible, it is important to create an individual surgical plan for each child. Growth has to be taken into account in the accurate planning of incisions and local flaps. Just because it is technically possible, not every flap should be used in the malformed child's hand. In the following article, we present a collection of reliable flaps in the surgery of the congenitally malformed hand. PMID: 28423439 [PubMed - in process]
