Abstract:
We present two cases of degloving injuries of the thumb with amputation of the distal phalanx. The first one was treated with an osteocutaneous flap from the first toe, giving effective function to the thumb, and the second by a fasciocutaneous interosseous flap around the segment of the exposed thumb, with a satisfactory result.
