title: [The "Muffplastik"--a Fasciocutaneous Reconstruction Technique in a Case of Extensive Soft Tissue Defect of the Distal Forearm--Historical Technique or Salvage Procedure?].
abstract: We present a case of a distant pedicled flap to reconstruct a defect at the distal upper extremity. We used this flap as a salvage procedure to treat a patient in the intensive care unit who was in a reduced general condition with numerous comorbidities that made regional or free microvascular flaps hazardous.
