title: [Osteotendocutaneous radial forearm flap for hand reconstruction following circular saw injury].
abstract: Circular saw injuries may cause severe damage to the soft tissue of the hand, including destruction of skin, tendons and bone. We report the use of an osteotendocutaneous radial forearm flap for hand reconstruction following circular saw injury. This flap allowed simultaneous reconstruction of skin, tendon and osseous defect of the metacarpal bone.
