We present a case of middle finger macrodactyly reconstructed in a single stage using
multiple techniques. We elevated a pedicled osteo-onychocutaneous island flap, excised
the remnant distal phalanx with a segment of 1 digital nerve and skin over the dorsum
of the middle phalanx, performed epiphysiodesis and reduction of the middle phalanx
as well as soft-tissue debulking, and inset the flap over the dorsum of the middle
phalanx. Follow-up at 12 months revealed a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome.
