Description

 Hand burns account for more than 80% of all burns. Deep burns of the hand are classified as “severe burns” based on Artz’s criteria.” The anatomical features of the dorsum and palm are different. As the skin on the extension side is thin, damage due to a burn can easily extend to the underlying tissue such as the extensor tendons, joints, or bones. This can result in infection and contracture in the post-burn hand when there is a long period before epithelization. After the underlying tissue is exposed, the dorsum of the hand should be constructed with free flaps or local flaps, but adaptation must be examined in consideration of the need for surgery and postoperative rest. We report the reconstruction of an exposed extensor tendon in both thumbs with deep burns using a pedicled groin flap and digital artery island flap.
