A transpositional skin flap for release of volar contractures of a finger at the MP joint.
We describe a finger flap which, in properly selected patients, and with careful planning of the incision design, has been useful for covering small defects over the volar aspects of the MP joint. The donor site can be closed without skin grafting.
