Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We treated a patient with skin and tendon defects of both hands as a result of injury by a heat press. There have been no reports of bilateral hand injuries being treated using simultaneous bilateral tendocutaneous flaps. In this case, we reconstructed the injured tissue using simultaneous bilateral radial forearm tendocutaneous flaps, with satisfactory results.</p> </abstract>
