Use of the Homodigital Adipofascial Turnover Flap for Dorsal Cover of Distal Interphalangeal Joint DefectsFrom the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, UK Correspondence: Mr S. L. A. Jeffery, The Queen Victoria Hospital, Holtye Road, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 3DZ, UK. The homodigital adipofascial turnover flap was originally described by Voche and Merle (1994) for dorsal cover of the proximal interphalangeal joint. We present three patients in whom this flap was used to cover dorsal defects of the distal interphalangeal joint, and describe an adaptation to allow greater flap mobility.
