    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To introduce a modified flap pedicled with the second dorsal metacarpal artery. METHOD: Seven thumb wounds were repaired with the second dorsal metacarpal artery flap. The size of the flap ranged from 1 cm x 3 cm to 2 cm x 4 cm, and the length of the vascular pedicle was 6 to 7 cm. RESULT: All flaps survived and the results were satisfactory. CONCLUSION: This method is an option for repairing thumb defects when the local skin flap or island flap on the index and middle finger is not available.
