All patients underwent one-stage reconstruction using the free DIOF with tendon grafting. In addition to these conventional evaluation indicators [flap survival rate, wrist total active motion (TAM), grip strength recovery, DASH scores, Mayo scores, and sensory recovery], high-frequency ultrasound tendon healing evaluation, laser Doppler flap blood flow monitoring, wrist stability test, and Likert scale satisfaction survey were added.
