Full thickness grafts taken from the plantar instep for syndactyly release.
Thirteen digital clefts (eight patients) were reviewed in which full-thickness plantar instep skin was used in syndactyly release. The results are presented, emphasising the good colour match of plantar instep skin with digital skin. There was a surprising lack of morbidity in the thirteen donor sites.
