Abstract
Reconstruction of large, full-thickness palmar and digital defects is challenging. The glabrous skin of the palm provides excellent color and texture match for palmar hand and digital defects. The reverse thenar perforator flap, which was previously infrequently used, provides a method for primary closure of large glabrous palmar skin defects. Because of the origin of the source vessels, the reverse thenar perforator flap is a good choice for larger radial-sided palmar and finger defects. This flap provides good aesthetic results for both the donor and the recipient.
