Long-Term Outcomes of Atasoy Flap in Children With Distal Finger Trauma.

Purpose: Distal finger trauma is one of the most frequent emergencies in children and has the potential for functional and cosmetic damage to the hand. The Atasoy flap (AF) is a vascularized, subcutaneous pedicle V-Y advancement flap used to cover a loss of distal finger substance.
