Neurovascular Grafting in Complex Upper Extremity Trauma: A Case Series Report

Upper extremity trauma is one of the most frequent surgical emergencies encountered in hospital trauma units. The complexity of injuries to the hand and forearm is due to the convergence of multiple anatomical structures within a relatively small and compact area, all of which are essential for the proper function of the extremity. Among these, neurovascular injuries are particularly significant. While these lesions are rarely associated with high mortality, inadequate or delayed management often results in severe dysfunction. In this paper, we present a series of cases involving complex forearm and upper extremity trauma, where autologous neurovascular grafts were utilized under microsurgical techniques for reconstruction.
