Abstract
Different modifications of flaps based on the dorsal metacarpal arterial system have been reported as reliable tools for reconstruction of dorsal and palmar phalangeal soft tissue defects. For simultaneous reconstruction of the extensor aponeurosis and joint in complex injuries of the dorsal index, we used a distally based pedicled fasciotendocutaneus second dorsal metacarpal flap, including the complete vascularized extensor indicis tendon in 2 cases. Clinical results of this procedure have not been reported so far.
