Free medialis pedis venous flap transfer for reconstruction of volar finger defects: Clinical application and aesthetic evaluation

There have been many reports about venous flaps, which are often used for reconstruction of soft tissue defects after finger injury because such flaps are simple to elevate. Recently, high viability rates and nearly normal histological findings were reported for venous flaps, although the mechanism of flap survival remains unclear. This study investigated the aesthetic outcomes after reconstruction of volar finger defects with free medialis pedis venous flaps, which are venous flaps that elevated between the submalleolar and medial plantar regions.
