  • Title: Restoration of sensation to the hand by a free neurovascular flap from the first web space of the foot.
    Author: Strauch B, Tsur H.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1978 Sep; 62(3):361-7. PubMed ID: 358225.
    Abstract:
    A neurovascular free flap from the first web space of the foot was used successfully in two patients for replacement of glabrous skin of the hand and fingers. The potential advantages of this flap are that (1) it may be used to replace large defects of glabrous skin, (2) it provides a rich vascular supply to the periphery of the hand, and (3) the sensation achieved approaches the normal for the intact glabrous skin of the hand.
