Abstract
Reconstructions of fingertip deformities have been attempted recently. We report a patient in whom the missing tip of a thumb was reconstructed by a local hinge flap and vascularized venous nail flap. This technique is less invasive than other reported methods and, in this situation, achieves a good result with a minimal donor deformity.
