Degloving injury of the hand

Degloving injuries involve circumferential loss of innervated skin and tactile surface(s) of the hand. They are often associated with nerve, vessel, or tendon avulsion. Degloving injuries are serious injuries usually caused by avulsion of soft tissue by a roller-type mechanism. Can a degloved hand heal? The first and best surgical option of treatment in such cases is always replantation or revascularisation. When the degloved skin is totally removed from the body, it can be put back by a surgical procedure called replantation.
