[Groin flap plastic surgery using McGregor's method].

Abstract

The specific advantages of the groin flap to the other axial pattern flaps from the trunk are outlined, followed by a detailed description of the operative procedure and the postoperative management. Based on our experience, the groin flap is an uncritical flap and can be recommended in numerous instances either of primary repair or secondary reconstruction of the injured hand.

Hand Injuries

Rehabilitative management of injuries to the hand.

Athletic participation after injury may resume when cleared by a physician familiar with hand injuries. It is the role of the athletic trainer or therapist to implement appropriate rehabilitative measures and apply a protective device to lessen the chance of re-injury or delayed healing. The trainer must also educate coaches, athletes, and parents that hand and finger injuries are not inconsequential. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, there may be future pain, disability, and deformity.
