Thirty four patients had been operated by using reverse dorsal metacarpal island flap. The majority of cases were the skin defects due to Dupuytren's contracture release. Second or third dorsal metacarpal artery was used for the pedicle of the flaps. There were twenty-five male and nine female in the series and the mean age was 44.
