The reconstruction of injured fingers is often difficult when the bone, nerve and vessel of fingers are exposed. For the reconstruction of such fingers, we have used a venous skin graft obtained from the arm. This method was performed on 14 cases. The youngest patient was 10 years old at the time of operation, the oldest being 62, and the average age was 36.4. The follow-up period varied from 2 years and 8 months to 10 months. The flap survived in all 14 cases. The largest flap of the 14 cases is 8.0cm×3.0cm in size. For 3 cases we have covered the skin defect of two fingers with a venous skin graft. The grafted skin was rich in elasticity and flexibility.
