2nd dorsal metacarpal artery neurovascular island flap: clinical applications

Abstract

This paper reports the clinical use of the sec ond dorsal metacarpal artery island flap in a series of 12 cases and discusses the results. In two cases, a double flap based on the second dorsal metacarpal artery from the dorsal skin of the second and third fingers without using the second web was raised as a modification of the dorsal flap.
