[Treatment of amputation of the distal finger phalanx with a neurovascular flap]

A method of covering defects of the distal phalanx with a sensible full thickness transposition flap is demonstrated using clinical cases. A laterally based full thickness flap with its palmar neurovascular bundle is mobilized in the injured finger. By stretching and displacing the neurovascular bundle the sensible full thickness flap can be placed on the defect.
