Abstract
Scarring at the level of the fingertip can cause major problems and discomfort. We report a case of a professional bass player who suffered impaired functionality of his middle finger after surgical treatment of a felon. We performed a collagen induction therapy after plastic reconstruction of the middle finger’s fingertip with an adipofascial turnover flap and two lateral VY flaps. This resulted in a long-term improvement of the previous symptoms and full functional rehabilitation as musician with an esthetically pleasing result.
