Replantation of an Excised Segment of Radial Forearm Tissue

Abstract

A report on a case of successful replantation of an excised segment of forearm tissue is presented. An 18 year old man was admitted to hospital with a completely excised segment of the radial side of his forearm and wrist as a result of a circular saw injury. The best reconstructive option was replantation of the excised radial forearm tissue thus providing both soft tissue cover and bony stabilization.
