    Author: Tadiparthi S, Akali A, Felberg L.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Eur Vol; 2009 Feb; 34(1):128-30. PubMed ID: 19129359.
    Abstract:
    A case of circumferential digital skin loss with exposed tendons from the proximal phalanx to the distal interphalangeal joint is presented. This was treated with a two-layer heterodigital cross-finger ("open book") flap from the adjacent digit, utilising a skin-only cross-finger flap to cover the palmar defect and an adipofascial flap to cover the dorsal defect.
