Abstract:
The McGregor flap, a pedicled inguinal flap, is highly effective in addressing hand and forearm soft tissue defects. Despite its two-stage surgical requirement, it remains a preferred option in hand surgery due to its reliability. This study aims to evaluate its advantages and disadvantages through a case study of a 62-year-old woman with upper limb injuries from a road accident. The surgical technique involves careful dissection of the flap, preserving key structures like the superficial circumflex iliac artery. Postoperative management includes mobilization exercises. The flap's reliability, minimal donor site sequelae, and low complication rates make it a valuable option, especially for surgeons less experienced in microsurgery.
