title: Simultaneous bilateral staged groin flaps for coverage of mutilating injuries of the hand.
abstract: In the massively injured hand when both volar and dorsal surfaces are traumatized, the options for coverage are limited. Simultaneous bilateral groin flaps have been used in 2 patients for reconstruction of soft tissue defects with acceptable results. This is a reliable method of cover that is easily performed with minimal donor site morbidity.
