title: Simple and easy reconstruction of nail matrix lesion using lateral finger flap after excision of digital mucous cyst.
abstract: We treated nine patients with skin defect produced by digital mucous cyst (DMC) excision on the finger and toe using lateral finger flap (LFF). The postoperative scars were esthetically acceptable and no recurrence of mucous cysts was observed. Our LFF is a simple method to repair minor distal dorsal finger defects.
