The dorsal metacarpal artery perforator (DMCAP) flap is frequently used to cover bones, tendons, and neurovascular structures in the dorsum of the hand after trauma and burns as an alternative to grafts and free flaps. We aimed to report volar finger defect reconstruction with expanded DMCAP flap. A 9\u2010year\u2010old male patient applied to our clinic with the complaint of inability to open the second finger of the left hand after an electrical burn that caused proximal and distal interphalangeal joints flexion contractures. Reconstruction was planned for the patient with a two\u2010session expanded first DMCAP flap. A 16\u2009mL 5\u2009\u00d7\u20093 cm tissue expander was placed in the prepared area from the vertical incision in the first session. The tissue expander was inflated with 4\u2009mL of isotonic solution. The DMCA area was enlarged 6\u2009weeks later by giving 22\u2009mL of isotonic solution. After the pedicle dissection, the 9\u2009\u00d7\u20093 cm DMCAP flap was elevated by dissection over the paratenon. With 180\u00b0 of rotation, the left\u2010hand second finger was adapted to the 6\u2009\u00d7\u20092\u2009cm defect area on the volar face. The flap donor site was closed primarily. The operation was terminated by placing the hand on a protective splint. There were no complications in the flap in the postoperative 6\u2009months. The patient was referred to the physical therapy and rehabilitation department. As a result, an expanded DMCAP flap may cover volar tissue defects up to the distal phalanx. This report may present the first case in which volar finger contracture reconstruction was performed with an expanded first DMCAP flap after an electrical burn in a pediatric patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.31057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]],"date-time":"2023-05-18T12:36:33Z","timestamp":1684413393000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reconstruction of finger contracture with an expanded first dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3093-8369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Burak","family":"\u00d6zkan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Baskent University  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5446-1940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Burak Erg\u00fcn","family":"Tatar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital  Erzurum Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5391-1508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00fcleyman","family":"Savran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Baskent University  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2806-3006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abbas","family":"Albayati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Baskent University  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6236-0050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cagri Ahmet","family":"Uysal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Baskent University  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17434440.2018.1426457"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SAP.0000000000002656"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0363-5023(94)90098-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cps.2019.03.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2007.03.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2009.05.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1938-1072"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(85)80227-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0000000000001069"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2008.03.025"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1726303"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jhsu.2001.20967"}],"container-title":["Microsurgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/micr.31057","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]],"date-time":"2024-02-08T11:56:20Z","timestamp":1707393380000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/micr.31057"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/micr.31057"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/micr.31057","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0738-1085","1098-2752"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0738-1085"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1098-2752"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2022-12-25","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-05-05","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-05-18","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e31057"}}
