  • Title: Neurovascular free flaps from the foot for innervation of the hand.
    Author: Morrison WA, O'Brien BM, MacLeod AM, Gilbert A.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1978 May; 3(3):235-42. PubMed ID: 350946.
    Abstract:
    Microneurovascular flaps from the first web space of the foot offer a solution to upgrade sensibility of the denervated hand. Based on the dorsalis pedis artery, it allows simple dissection and a large vessel for easy and safe anastomosis. Seven cases are presented in which combinations of the first web anatomy for a variety of denervation injuries were used. The technique is ideally suited in those cases where no areas of island flap tissue are available for transfer.
