Abstract
We have reported three cases of vascularized nail flap transfer with a short pedicle to the index and little fingers. We consider that reconstruction of fingers should be conducted positively even in the case of the nail defect except the thumb, if a patient desires. Since these operations are aimed at cosmetic improvement, reconstruction with a short pedicle seems to be the method worth employing because it leaves short skin incisions.
