Abstract

It is not easy to decide whether covering soft tissue defect occurred in multiple adjacent fingers with a single, large flap and later secondary division of fingers or cover each digits independently in hand reconstruction. The authors reconstructed soft tissue defect of left second and third finger with medial plantar artery based medialis pedis and medial plantar chimeric free flap and it enabled early rehabilitation without secondary surgery to divide each fingers and get satisfactory result.
