dc.description.abstractUpper extremities are significantly affected by high-voltage electrical injuries. In this study, the repair of the upper extremity tissue defects due to high-voltage electrical injuries using groin flaps is discussed. Methods: Ten patients who developed upper extremity tissue defects following high-voltage (>1000 V) electrical injuries between April 2009 and October 2011 were enrolled in our study. All the patients underwent reconstructions with pedicled groin flaps. All the patients were male. The areas on which the reconstructions were performed were hand and wrist areas where structures like the bones, tendons and nerves are accessible. The separation of the pedicles was performed on days 20-27 (average period: 23 days) after the pedicle ligation examination revealed no problems. Result: Adequate soft tissue coverage was obtained in all patients following the reconstruction. All the flaps healed without problem. No donor area morbidity was observed. No articular rigidity related to the operation was observed in any of the patients. Conclusion: We are of the opinion that in soft tissue defects that form in the upper extremities subsequent to high-voltage electrical injuries, when local flaps or free tissue transplants are risky or inapplicable, reconstruction with pedicled groin flaps constitutes an ideal treatment alternative.en_US
