<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To introduce an operation for fingertip reconstruction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The vascularity of the reverse dorsal island flap is augmented by performing an arteriovenous anastomosis between the dorsal vein in the flap and a digital artery at the fingertip. The flap was used in ten patients for reconstruction of their fingertip defects.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the ten flaps survived and the appearance was good.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method is easy except for the necessity of performing standard microvascular surgery. The flap is a good option for repairing fingertip defects.</p>
