From the Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, BG- Trauma Centre, Ludwigshafen, Germany

Correspondence: Professor G. Germann, Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, BG-Trauma Centre, Ludwig Guttmann Str. 13, 67071 Ludwigshafen, Germany.

The use of the reverse pedicle island flap as a heterodigital cross-finger flap is reported in five patients in whom conventional cross-finger flaps or homodigital flaps could not be used. All flaps survived and patient satisfaction was high. However, the indication for the flap must be considered carefully as the dissection is technically demanding and there is some donor site morbidity.
