Role of Square Flaps in Finger Contractures

Reconstruction of finger contractures is a challenge for the plastic surgeon. It is important to restore the length, function, along with providing a good quality skin cover (Sridhar and Hariharan in Int J Sci Stud 5(2):55-58, 2017 ). This study is aimed to show use of square flap in finger contractures along with determining its functional outcome. Three cases of finger contractures were reconstructed between May 2020 and December 2020 in a tertiary care hospital in north India. Departmental clearance was done. Written informed consent was taken. Results were analyzed as per successful reconstruction, type of reconstruction and stages, complications, and functional outcome. The surgical outcome has shown improvement in overall function. Square flap has proven to be a useful flap in post-burn/trauma finger reconstruction.
