INTRODUCTION

First dorsal metacarpal artery flap, developed by Holevitch and Foucher, is based in an arteriovenous system rising from the radial artery at the first web. It is a constant branch that is accompanied by sensitive branches from the radial nerve and superficial veins. Supplies the skin of the dorsum of the hand and the proximal phalanx of index finger ( part of the middle one as well).With a direct flow design and skin island on the dorsum of the proximal phalanx of index finger is one of the most useful flaps for thum reconstruction ⁽¹⁾. We present ten cases.
