title: Arterialized tendocutaneous venous flap for dorsal finger reconstruction.
abstract: We describe three cases of combined loss of skin and tendon on the dorsum of the finger that were reconstructed with venous flaps. The technique is feasible and offers a good treatment modality for the small but complex defect on the dorsum of the finger by a one-stage operation.
