SINGLE-STAGE MULTI-FLAP RECONSTRUCTION FOR SEVERE UPPER LIMB CONTRACTURES AFTER A SNAKE BITE: CASE REPORT

S GICHURU, ETTA-AYUM CONSTANCE NDUM and S. E MASITARA

Summary

Severe contractures after snake bite envenomation pose significant functional challenges, particularly in low-resource settings. We report a 4-year-old with complex upper limb deformities successfully managed through single-stage multi-flap reconstruction. This novel approach restored mobility, reduced surgical burden, and highlights practical strategies for complex snakebite sequelae.
