Abstract
Lateral chest and abdominal wall pedicle flaps have often been used in the converage of multiple finger defects, because they are the areas of relative loose skin which made the primary closure of wound possible. We designed a modified rhomboid flap according to its dynamic relation of skin tension so that the wound can be closed easily without remarkable tension. Especially in case of multiple defects of fingers we feel this is a good application and can save a lot of operation time by requiring no skin grafting. We here present a successful case example of rhomboid flap taken from lateral chest wall to cover multiple finger defects after the frostbite injury. The principle can also be applied on other deep hand defect resurfacing.
