Objective:
To investigate the feasibility and clinical effect of the extended reverse digital artery island flap including dorsal digital nerve.
Methods:
Since 2001, 7 cases of pulp and digital palm defects were repaired by the extended reverse digital artery island flap including dorsal digital nerve.
Results:
All the flaps survived. Follow-up showed satisfactory results functionally and cosmetically with 2-PD of 6-9 mm.
Conclusions:
The extended reverse digital artery island flap is a safe and feasible and an effective method for repair of finger pulp defects.
