title: [Reconstruction of first web space with retrograde forearm island flap with interosseous dorsal artery].
abstract: A new method of first web space reconstruction has been used in 8 patients with hand lesion with a retrograde island skin flap with interosseous dorsal artery pedicle since 1986. The follow-up examination 7-24 months after operation showed that the clinical results were satisfactory both functionally and cosmetically. The anatomical basis and the operation methods were described in details. The main advantages and disadvantages were also discussed.
