title: Vascularized genicular osseous-periosteal flap for pseudarthrosis of the proximal phalanx of the little finger: a case report.
abstract: This study describes pseudoarthrosis of the proximal phalanx of the little finger and its successful treatment using a free vascularized genicular osseous-periosteal flap. Since this thin and pliable flap can be harvested as a small vascularized unit, it is ideal for the treatment of phalangeal pseudoarthrosis.
