Flexibility of the Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Free Flap for Hand Reconstruction
The SCIP flap is a reliable option for complex hand defect reconstruction. This technique can provide a large, thin, pliable skin paddle incorporating components from the external oblique fascia and iliac bone. We did not encounter any recurrent issues when using it as a supercharged flap, tailored flap, or chimeric flap. Reconstructive surgeons should develop comfort with the SCIP flap in hand reconstruction given its versatility.
