Abstract: | We have designed a refinement of the reverse digital artery flap technique for soft-tissue defects on the dorsum of the fingers. In contrast with the traditional reverse digital artery flap it reduces the morbidity at the donor site and increases the ease and availability of resurfacing the defect. We suggest it is an alternative for the resurfacing of finger defects, especially over the dorsum. |
