Abstract

A fifty six year old male sustained acid burns to his right upper limb, resulting in a raw area over dorsum of hand and extensor aspect of distal forearm and flexor aspect of distal forearm. During an episode of secondary haemorrhage the radial artery was ligated. The raw area was covered by a split quadrant flap with the groin component for flexor aspect of distal forearm and abdominal component for dorsum of hand and extensor aspect of distal forearm.
