Abstract:
Twin flaps from the plantar non-weight-bearing region and lower medial leg have been designed and performed in 7 patients, 1 of whom had bilateral twin flaps. The twin flaps possess different textures of tissues that are particularly suitable for repair of hand deformity involving both the palm and the dorsum. Technical points of raising twin flaps are detailed and their indications discussed.
