More than just aesthetic, the fingertip is an instrument through which we navigate our environment and acquire information. All too often, fingertip reconstruction is either not attempted or attempted without adhering to the fundamental principle of "replacing like with like." Through detailed description and case examples, this article highlights the power and utility of the anterograde homodigital neurovascular island flap in fingertip reconstruction. This single-stage flap can reliably resurface large soft tissue defects with sensate glabrous skin.Copyright © 2013 American Society for Surgery of the Hand. Published by Elsevier Inc.
