Summary

Soft tissue loss with proper digital nerve (PDN) defect in the finger results in sensory loss of the finger pulp. Reconstruction of these complex soft tissue defects continues to be a challenge problem. To resolve this problem, we combined the nerve branch with the boomerang flap for simultaneous repair of soft tissue loss and PDN defect in these awkward areas. For comparison, we also collected a consecutive series of 32 patients with similar injury in the finger treated using a cross finger flap and a secondary free nerve graft.
