[Primary and secondary soft tissue injuries of the hand and therapeutic possibilities].
Primary treatment of soft tissue hand injuries is most important for further management and progress. It ensures best protection of lower structures. Soft tissue lesions that can not be closed without resulting tensions need instant plastic-surgical therapy. Various possibilities that range from split skin flaps to distant flaps with microvascular anastomosis can be chosen to cover primary as well as secondary soft tissue defects.
