This paper reports 25 cases of a versatile homodigital triangular neurovascular island flap for fingertip reconstruction. This flap was used to reconstruct traumatic oblique palmar amputations, with loss of fingertip pulp requiring advancement of not more than 2 cm. Good results were obtained in terms of fingertip contour and padding, sensibility, and functional recovery. The tendency for flexion contracture at the PIP joint was prevented by using a dynamic extension splint at night. Cold intolerance must be expected, especially in cold countries.
