    ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the early transplantation of double rectus abdominis musculo-cutaneous flaps on the repair of electrical injury of the wrist.MethodsThe study involved six patients suffering from circumferential deep electrical burn with only small amount of normal skin left on the dorsal side. The wounds were covered with double rectus abdominis musculo-cutaneous flaps raised from the upper abdomen with pedicles in both proximal and distal ends at an early postburn stage. The postoperative recovery of wrist function and wound repair were evaluated.ResultsThe wrist wounds in all the 6 patients were primarily healed, with perfect function and appearance.ConclusionEarly application of double rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps on the electrically injured wrists can promote the wound healing processes and plays important roles in the preservation of wrist function.
