Özet
We aimed to discuss a case of severe flexion contractures affecting 2nd-5th fingers as a late complication of a hypothenar skin flap that we applied to a patient with a fingertip injury that ended with tissue loss in the tip of the fifth finger of the right hand. Soft tissue defects of the little finger are challenging, especially when a bone, tendon or vascular pedicle is exposed because of trauma. The hypothenar random flap is easy to harvest and has a good color and texture match to the little finger pulp. For this complication, which did not improve sufficiently with physical therapy methods, contractures were tried to be eliminated by open surgical release of the 2nd-5th fingers to the proximal interphalangeal joints.
