Abstract
The groin flap was first described by McGregor and Jackson in 1972. Si nce then it has been applied to a wide variety of reconstructive probl ems. The flap is amenable to both staged and free tissue transfer and can provide cutaneous or composite tissues. However, use of this flap in the pediatric population has been limited. We herein describe the f irst known case of simultaneous bilateral staged groin flaps for salva ge of a blast-injured hand in a child.
