Transposition adipofacial turnover flap for coverage of dorsal finger defects

Abstract

We present a 60-year-old female with left middle finger soft tissue defect involving the dorsal aspect of the distal phalanx,as a result of excision of recurrent fungating granuloma mass. The patient was treated with local transpositional adipofacialturnover flap from the dorsum of the same finger as a one-stage procedure. This provided excellent coverage and goodwound healing to restore function of the finger as early as possible. The flap survival was adequate with no morbidity to thedonor site.
