    AbstractMany methods for the repair of degloving injuries of the thumb have been reported, but none are entirely satisfactory. Herein, we report a method in which the injury is divided into the dorsal and palmar area for repair. A great toenail flap is used to repair the dorsal injury to restore the nail defect, and a dorsalis pedis flap is used to repair the palmar injury. The described technique provides good restoration of morphology and aesthetic outcome, good functional and sensory recovery, and is associated with minimal donor-site morbidity.
