Abstract
An original surgical procedure for the repair of soft tissue defects localized on the dorsal aspect of the proximal phalanx of the fingers is described. A patient was seen with a posttraumatic soft tissue loss corresponding to the dorsal aspect of the second metacarpophalangeal joint and the adjacent proximal half of the proximal phalanx of the index finger with extensor tendon exposure. The repair of the defect using a local flap taken from the second web space and the dorsum of the proximal phalanx of the long finger provided excellent coverage with early movement and a good functional result.
