Abstract
A free vascularized deep peroneal nerve graft seems to be the most suitable method for repairing digital nerve defects involving severe finger damage. We report a patient in which this graft was used as a neurocutaneous flap. The advantages of this method are its excellent vascularity, minimal functional disturbance to the donor foot, and the possibility of versatile application.
