The proper coverage will prevent many of the distressing sequels of the finger injuries such as painful scar, cold sensitivity, poor perception, etc. for hand surgery professionals; soft tissue repair after finger damage may be difficult. Methods: In a prospective study between January 2017 to July 2022 consisting of 30 patients with soft tissue loss of finger were treated with different local flaps. The duration of follow-up from 10th POD to 9th months. Subjective and objective evaluation was done and graded as excellent, good, and poor. Results: In this series 16(53%) CFF, 6(20%) V-Y A flap, 3(10%) FTSG, 1(3.33%) FDMA flap, 2(6.66%) HDT flap and 2(6.66%) Fillet flap done. 22(73.33%) patient had good, 2(6.66) had excellent and rest 6(20%) had poor finger movement. 18(60%) patients had no tenderness during finger movement. 6(20%) had slight, 4(13.33%) had moderate and 2(6.66%) patient had marked tenderness and 2(6.66%) had moderate disability. 25 (83.33%) had normal two point discrimination. Conclusion: The main goals of finger reconstruction are to restore or recreate a responsive pain-free finger of maximum possible length, rapid healing, and a short period of functional impairment that is fully mobile.
