    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of "dumbbell" fascial metacarpal flap pedicled with skin perforator of dorsal metacarpal artery in treating the finger's penetrating soft tissue defect. METHODS: From February 2006 to August 2009, according to the courses, branches and distributions of the dorsal metacarpal artery, a "dumbbell" fascial metacarpal flap was designed and transposed to cover the penetrating soft tissue defects in 9 fingers. RESULTS: All of 9 flaps survived and got primary healing. The shape and function of the fingers were satisfied after 1-18 months period of follow-up. CONCLUSION: The "dumbbell" fascial metacarpal flap pedicled with skin perforator of dorsal metacarpal artery is an ideal donor site for repairing the finger's penetrating soft tissue defect.
