Abstract

A devascularized index finger with a soft tissue defect on its palmar side was managed by using a small free flap raised at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb. The radial digital artery was included in the flap and used to revascularize the index finger, and a palmar vein was used to drain the flap. This resulted in minimal donor side morbidity.
