AbstractA variety of local flaps are described for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the thumb. Restored sensibility, low donor-site morbidity, full restoration of function and range of motion, and an acceptable aesthetic outcome are requirements in thumb reconstruction. Reverse homodigital dorsal radial flap of the thumb provides most of these requirements and allows for dependable coverage of radiopalmar or dorsal thumb defects without affecting other digits.
