Abstract

Dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap (DMAP), first described by Quaba and Davison, is a useful tool in the armamentarium of plastic surgeons. It provides like for like tissue for the reconstruction of dorsal finger defects. It is a simple and relatively easy flap to harvest with minimal donor site morbidity. In this case series, we present our experience, applications, and surgical technique of flap harvesting.

Keywords

dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap (DMAP) - applications - reliable
