Bipedicle Flap Reconstruction of Longitudinal Palmar Skin and Soft Tissue Defects of the DigitsFrom the Hand Surgery Department, St. Andrews Centre for Plastic Surgery, Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex, UK Correspondence: Mr D Elliot, St. Andrews Centre for Plastic Surgery, Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 7ET, UK. Full-thickness defects of the skin and soft-tissue of the palmar aspect of the digits with exposure of the deeper structures which are longitudinal in shape are unusual and difficult to reconstruct. This paper discusses the treatment of these defects and reviews our experience of reconstructing nine such cases with bipedicle flaps.
