The versatile reverse-flow digital artery cross-finger flap.

Various flaps have been described for the reconstruction of the soft tissue defects of the digits, but these are not applicable to all kinds of defects. Moreover, these techniques are mostly 2-staged operations that require long-term immobilization. In this study, reverse-flow digital artery cross-finger flap was used to cover various volar and dorsal digital defects in 9 cases.
