Abstract: The treatment of extensive soft tissue defects in the thumb with dorsal metacarpal artery flaps has been previously reported in the literature. Island flaps from the dorsum of the index and long fingers have been the subject of many reports and studies. However, when the defect involves the whole thumb, a 360º circumferential defect, standard first or second dorsal metacarpal artery flaps are usually insufficient. There are fewer reports on the use of bilobed flaps for this application and we have found no reports on the use of bilobed racquet flaps or extended seagull flaps as treatment for this condition. We report the salvage of a thumb degloving injury with use of a bilobed racquet flap.
