Abstract

Objective To explore the surgical design and surgical techniques of perforator flap transfer for repairing soft tissue defects of the fingers. Methods Perforator flaps from anterolateral, inferomedial and lateral side of the lower leg and distal dorsal interosseous perforator mini flap were used to repair soft tissue defect of the fingers in 13 cases. Results All 13 flaps survived. The function and appearance of both the donor and recipient sites were good. Condusion Designing and harvesting a flap pedieled on a perforator or an axial vessel in the extremity for free transfer to cover soft tissue defects of the fingers offers a new surgical option for treating hand trauma, since it causes less pain and leas damage while providing satisfactory wound coverage. Meanwhile, however, it is technically more challenging to the surgeon. Key words: Surgical flaps; Finger injuries; Perforator flaw
