Abstract
Double opposing flaps on the palmar surface were designed to create nail folds and to cover bony defects of the distal phalanges in the treatment of complex syndactyly. This is a two-stage procedure, and the flaps were used on 10 hands in 8 patients. There were no failures, and the results were satisfactory after a mean follow-up time of 2 1/2 years. The two stages were performed 2 weeks apart, and the surgery can be done as an outpatient procedure.
