Abstract
Post-traumatic palmar soft tissue defects are a difficult problem in plastic surgery and many techniques have been described. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with a large palmar soft tissue defect of the right hand due to a work accident. The classical flaps used in this indication were not usable. So, we chose the synovial flap of the Flexor digitorum superficialis to cover this palmar defect. We discuss the coverage possibilities for a hand palmar defect in emergency, and the use of the synovial flap in this indication. This case report shows that the synovial flap could be an option for the coverage of palmar soft tissue defects.
