title: Functional reconstruction of the palmar surface of the thumb using the neurovascular flap from the index.
abstract: We have achieved favorable results in reconstruction of the palmar surface of the thumb using the neurovascular flap from the index. The technique was applied in several patients with defects of the palmar surface and the tip of the thumb. Satisfactory functional and aesthetic results were obtained. It seems to be a very useful method to restore the sensory area of the thumb.
