Transfer of vascularized extensor tendons from the foot to the hand with a dorsalis pedis flap. 1985

R Vila-Rovira, and B J Ferreira, and A Guinot

The use of the dorsalis pedis flap with vascularized extensor tendons was presented. An anatomic study has been carried out that has shown that the vascularization of the foot extensor tendons can be exclusively dependent on the blood contribution coming from the dorsalis pedis artery. In two cases that are presented and followed up for over a year after the surgery, the functional results obtained are good in the hand and aesthetically acceptable in the foot.
