Abstract
Cadaveric dissections demonstrated a constant blood supply to the skin of the first web. An island advancement flap from the dorsum of the first web was used to release first web contractures in six patients and to resurface palmar burns in two. There were no flap losses and its use is recommended in release of moderate contractures and minor loss of palmar skin.Entities:
