Antebrahijalni reverzni ostrvski rezanj na peteljci AIP za rekonstrukciju defekta na palcu

Fasciocutaneous lobe on AIP ( a. interossea posterior) is characterized by thin skin, good texture and satisfactory pedicle lenght, which enables the repair of numerous hand defects. It can be either loose or reversed on the pedicle. We present here 2 neglected cases of thumb injury in which there was a need to compensate the full thickness of the skin. We believe that thumb defects can be repaired with both functionally and esthetically good effects using AIP lobe.
