Abstract
This article evaluates common techniques for coverage of digital tissue defects including skin grafts, advancement flaps, rotation flaps, thenar flaps, and fillet flaps. An appreciation of the physiology of flap healing in relation to the health of the defect site and the potential functional result better guides the choice of optimal-tissue coverage.
