The technique included preoperative wound contour tracing, flap design based on a single perforator vessel, harvesting under tourniquet control, tension-dispersed transfer, microvascular anastomosis, and standardized postoperative management. Follow-up assessments used the British Medical Research Council sensory grading scale and hand function evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 13 flaps, 12 survived completely with primary healing; 1 developed postoperative venous crisis that was successfully salvaged. Follow-up showed flap appearance\/texture similar to surrounding skin and no significant scar contracture. Sensory recovery reached S4 (4 cases), S3 (7 cases), and S2 (2 case). Approximately 70% of patients achieved excellent\/good hand function, with all donor sites healing without functional impairment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The canopy flap has high survival rate, good three-dimensional conformability, and reduces complications.
