title: Reconstruction of a degloved finger with a heterodigital reverse dorsal digitometacarpal flap.
abstract: We used a reverse dorsal digitometacarpal flap to reconstruct a degloved finger in a 60-year-old patient who had an avulsion digital amputation. The digitometacarpal island dorsal flap was raised on the vascular axis of the ring finger and wrapped around the degloved little finger. The long term results were good.
