title: The "seagull" flap for syndactyly.
abstract: A technique is described for the treatment of post-burn syndactyly using a seagull shaped flap to produce a realistic commissure that does not subsequently advance distally. It can release volar digital contractures at the metacarpo-phalangeal level and import skin with tactile "adherence" into the distal palmar area.
