Objective To study the methods and clinical curative effects of minute wrist flap supplied by superficial palmar branch of radial artery in treatment of skin and soft tissue defects in fingers. Methods 8 cases with deep tissue exposure or soft tissue defects in the middle segment or the tip of the fingers were covered by minute wrist flaps that werepedicledon the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery. Flaps were designed on the volar aspect of the wrist, with the dimension ranging from 3.5 cm×3.0 cm to 3.0 cm×2.0 cm. Results All flaps survived. an following-up of 3 to 6 months , with an average of 4 months, revealed that all flaps were soft in texture, similar in colour and luster to the donor site, absent of obvious blistering, good in wo-point discrimination, being 4~7 mm. Donor site was sutured directly, leaving linear scar and no obvious hyperplasia. Conclusions Treatment of soft tissue defects in fingers by minute wrist flap supplied by superficial palmar branch of radial artery is simple in surgical procedure, mild in donor-site trauma, good in appearance and sensory restoration. It is an ideal method for repairing of skin and soft tissue defects with exposure of deep tissue in fingers.
