## Abstract ## Purpose: Treatment of composite tissue loss in the finger pulp is often difficult. The purpose of this report is to present our experience on using medial plantar artery perforator flap for repair of finger pulp defects and to restore fingertip sensation after traumatic injury. ##
We reconstructed a large-sized defect at the weight-bearing plantar region by a free anterolateral thigh flap successfully. This is the first case report of using the anterolateral thigh flap for reconstruction of the plantar foot. Based on the preoperative and postoperative pedogram examinations, t
## Abstract Reconstruction of complex defects resulting from radical resection of venous malformation occurring in other digits except the thumb is challenging because a thin and durable flap is required to achieve optimal reconstruction without functional impairment. Here, we describe an alternati
