Fingertip reconstruction. ³

---

Grad JB. Beasley RW. Hand Clinics. [JC:hnd] 1(4):667-76, 1985 Nov. Fingertips are functionally important contact surfaces. Pain-free and stable tissue coverage with good sensibility is needed. The method of repair depends on many factors, as herein discussed, including careful donor site consideration if tissue is transferred for repair. A small injury to a finger can result in prolonged disability and morbidity so that such injuries deserve the same thoughtful consideration, planning, and technical adroitness as do all hand problems.
