This person was injured, sustained a large wound on the dorsum of the hand with the extensor tendons exposed. The wound was covered with a flap. The flap is called Posterior Interosseous Artery (PIA) flap. Based on a known artery, an appropriately sized skin island is reflected from the forearm to the dorsum of the hand. The rehabilitation is important to prevent stiff fingers.
