## Abstract We describe three cases of combined loss of skin and tendon on the dorsum of the finger that were reconstructed with venous flaps. The technique is feasible and offers a good treatment modality for the small but complex defect on the dorsum of the finger by a one‐stage operation. © 1994

Abstract
In this study, a forearm arterialized venous free flap (23 cm × 14 cm) was used in a 25‐year‐old male with facial burns sequels to reconstruct both cheeks, chin, lips, nose, columnella, nasal tip, and nostrils. It was arterialized by the facial artery to an afferent vein anastomosis. The venous flow was drained by four efferent vein to vein anastomoses. Although it developed small inferior marginal necrosis in the lower lip, the rest of the flap survived with good quality of the skin in both texture and color, with self‐delimitation of the different esthetics units of the center of the face such as the nasogenian folds, nostrils, and upper lip filtrum, without the need of additional thinning surgical procedures. From all of the above, the arterialized venous free flap is an alternative reconstructive option for the treatment of burn sequels especially those that include the centrofacial region. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Twenty-one cases of skin defects of the hand were treated with venous flaps. According to type, nine flaps were arterialised flaps (A-A), five were (A-V), and seven were (V-V) type. Venous flaps can be used up to 8 x 3 cm in size or even bigger if the number of veins anastomosed is increased. The ma
