From the Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery Unit, Department of Orthopaedics, University of Milan, Milan, Italy and the Department of Plastic Surgery, Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada

Correspondence: M. Lanzetta MD, Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery Unit, Department of Orthopaedics, University of Milan, Via Donizetti 106, 20052 Monza (Milan), Italy.

We present a case in which an open wound involving the ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger was treated by ligament reconstruction using a strip of Dacron material, nerve grafting and coverage by a posterior interosseous artery pedicled flap. At a long term follow-up of 4 years, the joint was stable and had a full range of movement.
