Sophisticated treatment options in reconstructive microsurgery have markedly improved functional and aesthetic results. In the upper extremity, complex injuries with multi-component defects are frequent and require individually tailored solutions for best results.

The presentation presented state-of-the-art reconstructions, including premier innovations in extraordinary clinical situations.
