ABSTRACT

In degloving injuries of the hand, rehabilitation can be delayed due to poor wound healing and partial flap necrosis, if the avulsed tissue is sutured back primarily. By sandwiching a temporoparietal fascial flap between the avulsed flap and the tendons, rehabilitation can be started immediately, even if flap necrosis is present.
