Purpose: We reviewed the results of cross finger flaps after surgical release and vigorous postoperative exercises for long-standing, severe flexion contractures of the Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joints of fingers. Materials and Methods: In 9patients, all contracted tissue was sequentially released and the resultant skin defect was covered with a cross-finger flap. The cause of the contracture was contact burn in 4, skin graft in 3, and a previous operation in 2. The mean followup period was 41.2 months. Results: The mean flexion contracture/further flexion in the joints were improved from 73.4/87.8O to 8.4/95.4O at the last follow-up. A mean of 19.5O of extension was achieved with vigorous extension exercise after the operation. The mean gain in range of motion (ROM) was 79.4O. Near full ROM was achieved in 3 cases. There were no major complications. Conclusion:In severe flexion contractures with scarring of the PIP joints of fingers, cross finger flaps after sufficient release and vigorous postoperative exercise seems to be a reasonable option to obtain satisfactory ROM of the joints.
