Arterialized tendocutaneous venous flap for dorsal finger reconstruction

Microsurgery. 1994;15(12):886-90. doi: 10.1002/micr.1920151212.

Abstract

We describe three cases of combined loss of skin and tendon on the dorsum of the finger that were reconstructed with venous flaps. The technique is feasible and offers a good treatment modality for the small but complex defect on the dorsum of the finger by a one-stage operation.
