Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of arterialized venous flap in finger flexion contracture correction. Materials and methods : From 2002 to 2004, we have performed 10 arteriaized venous flap for treatment of severe flexion contracture in digit. The duration of flexion contracture was from 1 year to 50 years. The cause of contracture were bum scar(7 cases), postoperative contracture(2 cases) and other(l case). We evaluated the survival of flap, flap size, recovery of flexion contracture and subjective satisfaction. Results : All arterialized venous flap survived. The marginal minimal skin necrosis developed in 2 cases. The flap size was average
