ABSTRACT
For any surgeon taking care of a mangled upper extremity (or lower extremity), there are 10 questions that they should ask themselves. Of the 10 questions, the most critical one is whether to salvage or amputate the extremity. Important factors for debridement are also emphasized. By following and answering these 10 questions, a surgeon will be able to salvage a mangled extremity and logically reconstruct a functional hand and upper extremity.
