Abstract: | Summary One-stage reconstruction of traumatic loss of metacarpal bones, extensor tendons and skin is a challenging problem for the reconstructive surgeon. The anatomical and functional similarity between the structures of the dorsum of the foot and of the hand, makes the dorsalis pedis composite flap a consideration in reconstruction of compound defects of the hand. |
