Tóm tắt

The homodigital adipofascial turnover flap was originally described by Voche and Merle (1994) for dorsal cover of the proximal interphalangeal joint. We present three patients in whom this flap was used to cover dorsal defects of the distal interphalangeal joint, and describe an adaptation to allow greater flap mobility.
