Abstract:
VY-plasty is a well-known technique to reconstruct fingertip defects. A simplified method combining pinning of flap and healing of donor site by secondary intention is described. These steps preserve the rounded appearance of the fingertip and restore the convexity of the hyponychium. Flap ischemia due to suture-line tension is also averted.
