Design of a propeller perforator flap for defects on 2nd-5th fingers: a A flap is designed on the dorsal ulnar aspect of the PIP joint, the middle phalange and the DIP joint. b The flap is elevated from the volar side, and the dorsal digital artery perforators and the vessel chain between the perforators are visualized. c Flap harvest: the perforator at the distal end is preserved as the vascular pedicle of the flap. d The flap is rotated to repair the wound, and skin grafting is performed at the donor site
