Abstract

This review article summarizes the various types of digital artery perforator flaps used in digit reconstruction. The indications for use of digital artery perforator flaps and the preferred approach for reconstructing fingertip defects are explained in this article. Recent updates in digital artery perforator anatomy in the finger, techniques for flap harvest, and inset as well as a delayed approach to using digital perforator flaps in finger reconstruction are discussed.
