Medial Plantar Venous Flap: Classic Donor Site Modification for Hand Defects

Conclusions
Compared with the traditional medial plantar flap, the medial plantar venous flap involves a simpler surgical procedure and allows for revascularization of distal areas using the flow-through technique. Furthermore, the medial plantar area presents a sensitive, glabrous skin with proper bulkiness and allows for movement of the underlying structure.
