The First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery Neurovascular Island FlapFrom the Plastic Surgery Unit, The Ulster Hospital, Belfast
A first dorsal metacarpal artery island flap from the index finger was used in 20 cases for reconstruction of defects in the hand. In six cases it was used as a neurovascular flap for sensory resurfacing of the thumb and in five cases for release of a contracted first web. One flap underwent necrosis and there was a complication in one donor site.
