    Abstract:
    Sixteen patients presenting 18 hook-nail deformities have been treated by the advancement of a homodigital island flap. With an average follow-up of 31 months; Results were considered good or excellent in seven cases, fair in seven and poor in four. Six cases, although improved, had a marked recurrence of the deformity, six had a partial recurrence and six had almost no recurrence. Patient satisfaction was limited as the finger still had a short nail and a square shape.
