Pulp loss of the fingers is frequently observed. When local advancement flaps are not sufficient to repair the defect, the homodigital monopedicled island flaps with "direct flow" are a simple and current reconstructive solution. Between 1991 and 1995, 32 homodigital neurovascular direct flow island flaps were performed for fingertip defects. We used a modified triangular Venkataswami flap for oblique amputations (26 patients) and the Mouchet-Gilbert island flap for tangential defects (6 patients). Our results (with excellent skin quality and good sensory recovery) lead us to consider these flaps as the first-choice reconstructive solution in patients with extensive but not complete pulp defects (< 2 cm) of the fingers.
