A current classification of the types of epidermolysis bullosa is reviewed, in conjunction with some etiological concepts. The pathomechanics of the advanced hand deformity are discussed, and applied to a sequential plan of reconstructive surgery. The objective is the restoration of elementary hand function. Two illustrative cases are presented.
