“…Although some authors insist that a ray amputation is sometimes a better alternative, especially when the proximal interphalangeal joint is damaged, 12-15 most of the investigations contain enough evidence to support attempts to reconstruct these injuries. 13,16 Various methods have been developed for the coverage of such defects 3-8 ; however, the possibility of facilitating early motion is variable, and the quality of the flaps is quite different from that of a normal finger in most cases.…”

BACKGROUND: There are many methods available for coverage of both the volar and dorsal hand surfaces in traumatic injury. All of these surgical procedures allow for ample coverage of the defect, but have the major drawback of needing multiple donor sites. In the present report, a case of a complex crush injury to the hand in which both volar and dorsal surfaces received traumatic injury is presented. A bilobed groin flap pedicled on the superficial circumflex iliac artery was fashioned to cover the entire defect. Like many other described flaps, the bilobed groin flap resulted in a favourable functional and cosmetic result for the patient, but with the unique advantage of requiring a single donor site. METHODS: A bipedicled groin flap was raised from distal to proximal, and the flaps inset onto both the dorsal and volar hand defects. RESULTS: The patient regained adequate function of his hand, and was able to return to work full-time as a manual labourer. CONCLUSION: The bilobed groin flap appears to be a valuable option for covering complex hand injuries involving both the volar and dorsal surfaces of the hand.

“…This flap provides a large amount of soft tissue, commonly described as 10 Â 20 cm, and provides excellent coverage for large soft tissue defects of the dorsum of the hand. 18 This flap offers the advantage of a conspicuous donor site, which can often be closed primarily if the width is kept to less than 10 cm. A recent large review of the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap demonstrated it to be one of the thinnest options available with a thickness of 3 to 7 mm (average, 5 mm).…”
