ABSTRACT
Six volatic kite flaps were used to covering the missing lesions of thumb skin. The flaps were collected from dorsum of phalanx 1 and from hand-finger join 2. The flaps involved three feeding components the dorsal finger 2 artery that separated from radial artery, vein, the nerve branch that separated from radial nerve. These flaps were used effectively for covering the missing lesion of inter-phalangeal joint 1-2. It is more difficult in covering the palm of phalanx 2 of finger 1 because the flap must be collected from far area, the blood supply is poor in distal tip and the flap is stretched. (There was one case in which this flap was used to cover the palm of phalanx 2 of finger 1 had necrosis in distal part of the flap).
