Abstract
The VY advancement, thenar flaps, and cross-finger flaps are workhorse flaps used in reconstruction of fingertip defects. They are reliable and simple to raise without need for microvascular dissection. In addition, they usually provide good results in terms of sensibility and range of motion. This article reviews the history, anatomy, and surgical technique of these flaps with a focus on aesthetic refinements with illustrative cases.
