Abstract: | A case of degloving injury of the whole hand reconstructed by a combination of an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap and a groin flap applied as a pedicled distant flap was reported. Despite complications of congestion of the ALT flap and superficial infection, both flaps were severed at 4 weeks after transplantation, and a useful hand was finally reconstructed. The combination of a pedicled groin flap and an ALT flap is not optimal for reconstruction of a whole-hand degloving injury but is considered to be an available procedure for covering a large skin defect without microsurgical procedures. |
