title: The rhomboid flap: a simple technique to cover the skin defect produced by excision of a mucous cyst of a digit.
abstract: Rhomboid flaps were used rather than rotation flaps for skin cover after excision of mucous cysts of the finger in six patients. The rhomboid flap is a safe, reliable technique which is more easily taught and applied than the rotation flap.
