Abstract

Cross finger

Flap

Mobilization

• Previous authors have immobilized the hand following cross finger flaps. • We studied two groups of injured industrial workers. • Group I (n = 12) had immediate postoperative mobilization. • Group II (n = 12) had immobilization till the time of flap division. • Complications were similar but Group I returned back to work earlier.
