Free arterialised venous flaps for reconstruction of digital soft tissue defects

Serious injury to the hand can result in a significant loss of soft tissue cover associated with a segmental loss of the digital arteries and devascularisation of fingers. In the situation the use of arterialised venous free flap is a possible reconstructive solution. The flap provides a reasonably thin piece of tissue within which it is often possible to incorpoate a nerve graft and whose size is readily adaptable to the defect. Donor site morbidity is minimal. These flaps are however not without their problems and this paper we highlight our expirience.
