Abstract:
A dysvascular digit is defined as a threatened circulatory condition of a digit caused owing to multiple reasons, such as medical illness or trauma. A dysvascular digit always needs surgical manipulation of the vessel in trauma cases. The revascularization of the digit is a priority in such conditions, after which reconstruction of the defect is performed. In this article, the authors present and discuss the venous free flap, thenar free flap, toe plantar free flap, free style perforator flap, hypothenar free flap, and anconeus muscle free flap.
