title: [Reconstruction of the thumb and radial side of palm--a report of 6 cases].
abstract: Since 1985, on the basis of anatomic study of dorsal pedal artery, thumb and radial side of palm reconstruction have been successfully performed in one stage by using opposite composite dorsal pedal flap including the second toe, the second metatarsal and the first toe web. Because they were all distributed by dorsal pedal artery and great saphenous vein, dissecting these tissues was not difficult. Good function and cosmetic appearance were achieved following reconstruction.
