Review Comparative Study[Soft-tissue reconstruction of the dorsum of the hand and finger to cover the extender tendons].
Small defects of extensor tendons can mostly be covered by local flaps. For larger defects the groin flaps, pedicled flaps from the forearm and free flaps are indicated. ⋯ With this study we want to illustrate the different procedures, compare their surgical techniques and outcomes and finally to rate the results. In the context of security, morbidity of the donor site and functional outcomes, our favourite flap is the lateral upper arm flap.
