Temporoparietal sandwich technique in acute avulsion injury of the hand.
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 temoroparietal fascial flap between the avulsed flap and the tendons, rehabilitation can be started immediately, even if flap necrosis is present.
