Abstract:
[Objective]To research the method to repair dorsal skin defect of fingers by using retrograde neurocutaneous flap.[Method]Adopting nutrient vessels of 4 nerve branches in hands of radial-ulnar nerve as pedicle,the flaps were designed and applied to repair dorsal skin defect of fingers.[Result]All 10 flaps in 5 cases survived and wound area were covered.[Conclusion]Retrograde neurocutaneous flaps have sufficient blood supply,with no injury to nominous vesels,and with long distance to repair.Therefore,it is an advantageous method to repair dorsal skin defect,futhermore,two flaps could be used to repair skin defect of two fingers at the same time.
