Traumatic soft tissue loss in wrist usually involves
tendons, vessels and nerves. These injuries need the adequate
reconstructive treatment and the safe coverage which
lets to slide the tendons and it gives a safe protection to neurovascular
structures. The fasciocutaneous flap based in perforator
branches of the ulnar artery brings skin, fat and fascia
enough over the exposed tissues in the dorsal or volar surface
of the wrist.
We report four cases of traumatic lesions in soft tissues of the
wrist, in all of them the fasciocutaneous dorsal cubital flap
was the option for the end coverage.
We emphasize the versatility of these flaps, its easy ejecution,
the minimal aesthetic sequel and the early rehabilitation beginning,
so we obtain the best functional restitution for the patient.
