Posterior interosseus artery flap is commonly used as a pe dicle flap to cover soft tissue defect in the dorsum of the hand. It is not able to cover a soft tissue defect beyond the level of proximal phalang unless it is used as a free flap. We illustrate 2 cases in which large soft tissue defect...

| Summary: | Posterior interosseus artery flap is commonly used as a pe
dicle flap to cover soft
tissue defect in the dorsum of the hand. It is not able to cover a soft tissue defect
beyond the level of proximal phalang unless it is used as a free flap. We illustrate 2
cases in which large soft tissue defect in the finger was
able to close by using a
contralateral posterior interosseous flap. This technique is a reliable alternative
method for closing large soft tissue defect in the fingers |
