Özet

BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of the complex upper extremity defects is a challenging procedure for reconstructive surgeons because of the complex anatomical and functional structure of this region. In reconstruction, local and regional flap options involving the composite tissues are restricted. The posterior interosseous flap (PIO) has been presented "in a single study" with a wide variety of uses, and in this study, the versatility of PIO has been tried to be emphasized by its multitude uses as well as its chance at adaptability to each case. Hence, due to this, the objective to highlight the versatile utility of the PIO flap in clinical practice and to present a good option for the reconstruction of complex upper limb defects for various cases have been targeted.
