We reconstructed a segmental bone defect in a finger associated with a dorsal skin defect using a bone graft covered with a free medial femoral condyle periosteal flap and a skin graft in two patients. The vascularised periosteal flap (VPF) improved the survival of the bone graft and allowed the take of the skin graft. The use of a VPF can be considered in patients with crush injury of the digits with segmental loss of bone and dorsal skin Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).
