Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Soft tissue free flap reconstruction of upper extremities has proven to be reliable and essential for limb salvage and function. Nevertheless, comparative data regarding flap outcome are still lacking. The present study aimed to compare procedural features and individual complication rates of different free flaps used for upper extremity reconstruction.
