Abstract Summary
Surgeons successfully reconstructed a severely damaged hand using a free fibula flap for bone replacement, followed by silicone joint arthroplasty. While the 32-year-old patient regained soft tissue coverage and grip strength after 18 months, joint mobility remained limited—highlighting both the promise and challenges of combining microsurgical techniques with prosthetics for complex hand trauma.
Why Brain? đź§
Novel approach combines free fibula flap with silicone arthroplasty to reconstruct severe metacarpal injury, demonstrating feasibility but limited joint mobility improvement in complex hand trauma cases.
