B.B. is a 53-year-old right-handed gentleman who was lifting a heavy icemaker machine at work fell to the ground in June 2013 resulting in the avulsion of a mid-line longitudinal strip of soft tissue over the dorsum of the distal phalanx of the right middle finger. The resulting soft tissue defect extended from the distal interphalangeal joint crease to the central portion of the eponychium with the resulting defect measuring approximately 2.5x1cm. reconstruction of the dorsum of the distal phalanx including the proximal nailfold was accomplished by local radial and ulnar advancement flaps to restore the eponychium.
