title: Hoffmann pelvic stabilization for injuries to the hand and wrist.
abstract: We have used the pelvic Hoffmann technique successfully on two patients requiring flap coverage and have had no difficulty with its management nor complications with the pelvic pin fixation. We feel that this type of fixation provides significant advantages for the treatment of hand and forearm injuries requiring flap coverage for avulsing injuries to the hand and wrist.
