Rapid skin cover in hand injuries using the reverse-dermis flap.
When skin flap cover is needed to repair a hand defect it may prove impossible to use a local or cross-finger flap. Many types of distant flaps are available but these usually require a prolonged period of attachment. It is the purpose of this short paper to show that a direct reversed-dermis flap can provide good cover with a short attachment phase and allows early mobilisation.
