Abstract

The ideal donor site for full-thickness skin grafts to the non hair-bearing areas of the fingers is the glabrous skin of other digits. The use of these sites is usually restricted because of the limited amount of skin available and the donor site morbidity. We were recently presented with a clinical situation in which one congenital abnormality of the fingers requiring full-thickness skin grafts for its correction was associated with another congenital abnormality of the digits: amputation of the supernumerary fingers and toes provided the ideal donor site for the full-thickness skin grafts needed in the hand.
