Abstract From March, 1987 through May, 1996, a total of 13 cases of severe deep burn and bone defect of hand and wrist were treated by groin skin and iliac bone composite graft with vascular pedicle and had resulted in satisfactory result. The operation was relatively simple. Because thecomposite graft carried its own blood supply in the pedicle, it was not necessary to revascularize the composite graft by anastomosis of blood vessel during operation. Owing to the presence of abundant vascular supply of the iliac bone, the antiinfection potency was high, so its application was suitable for those conditions such as fresh severe deep burn with infection and bone defect. As a result, this technique gave the best chance to save the limb from amputation, and the duration required for treatment could be markedly shortened. This method provided the possibility to solve effectively the difficult problem dealing with the treatment of severe deep burn with infection and bone defect of the hand and wrist.
