One-stage reconstruction of traumatic loss of metacarpal bones, extensor tendons and skin is a challenging problem for the reconstructive surgeon. The anatomical and functional similarity between the structures of the dorsum of the foot and of the hand, makes the dorsalis pedis composite flap a consideration in reconstruction of compound defects of the hand.

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

Since the advent of perforator flaps, a wide variety of applications have been documented. This study focuses on free flaps based on musculocutaneous perforators, because they have not been well-described in the literature of upper-limb reconstruction. They can be trimmed to be thin and pliable, and
## Abstract The reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects in hands remains a difficult challenge in reconstructive surgery. In this report, we introduce a combined medialis pedis and medial plantar fasciocutaneous flaps supplied by the lateral and medial branches of the medial plantar artery, w
