One hundred sixty-seven thumb replantations and revascularisations: early microvascular results.

abstract：:We employed a forearm flap that had been thinned through primary defatting for nasal covering in three cases to reduce the need for secondary revision. Partial flap loss did occur in one case due to subcutaneous vascular plexus injury, but acceptable results were obtained in the remaining two cases. Donor site concave...
