    AbstractThe fingertip is an extremely specialized end organ with a highly developed sense of touch. In this article, we present the different ways of reconstructing a traumatized fingertip. Additionally, we systematically explain the differential indications for the different techniques available. The whole spectrum of fingertip reconstruction is discussed, starting from local neurovascular flaps (palmar VY-Atasoy flap, Kutler flap, palmar Moberg flap, lateral Venkataswami and Subramanian flap, palmar Hueston flap), distant flaps (Littler flap, Foucher flap, dorsal metacarpal artery flap, cross-finger flap, reversed cross-finger flap) and finally free flap transfer (free toe-pulp transfer, spare-part transplantation). The advantages and disadvantages of each flap are highlighted. We develop an algorithm to facilitate finding the correct type of reconstruction.
