Full-thickness skin grafts were applied to the donor defects. All flaps survived completely with no donor site morbidity. This flap appears to be an easy and reliable way of covering the flexor tendon, the digital nerve and the digital artery after contracture release or for skin defects on the volar surface of the proximal phalanx.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSurgerySoft tissue defectDigital arteryFingerProximal dorsal digital flapArticle0000761892000092-s2.0-0031697046362365217SurgerySurgical Flaps; Flaps (Control Surfaces); Metacarpal BonesAdolescentAdultArticleChildClinical articleDigital arteryDonor siteFemaleFingerFlexion contractureFlexor tendonHumanMaleMorbidityNervePhalanxPriority journalSkin defectSkin graftSkin transposition flapSoft tissue defectThickness
