Abstract
When the entire digital web space has been destroyed by burn scarring and there is a contracture of the volar aspect of the web as well as the dorsum, Z-plasties and skin grafts alone seldom produce a satisfactory web space. During the past 3 years, for the release of 46 contracted web spaces in 20 burned patients, we have turned a rectangular flap from the dorsal surface of the web through into an inverted-T incision in the palm. The adjacent sides of the defects have been skin grafted. In all these patients, we obtained satisfactory release of the contracture and restoration of the web space.
