“…The principle of using a de-epidermized and turned flap is clearly not new. The use of dermal flaps based on sub-dermal vascularization is largely routine, with examples including the famous flip-flap flap used in hand surgery, which allows coverage of a soft tissue defect in a dorsal phalangeal unit by harvesting subdermal tissue on the palmar side of the same unit [2,3]. So far, we are not aware of any cases reported in the literature involving the reuse of a flap already performed through this simple and effective technique.…”

“…To overcome the issue of the absence of a perforator on a previously-performed flap, and to avoid invasive additional surgical strategies, we developed a new type of flap, the flip-flap puzzle flap, which combines two concepts: the free-style puzzle flap and the flip-flap flap described by Voche et al in the 1990s [2,3], which we routinely use this technique in our unit to cover the dorsal phalanges in hand surgery.…”

Post-traumatic soft tissue defects sometimes require sequential flap coverage to achieve complete healing. In the era of propeller flaps, which were developed to reduce donor site morbidity, Feng et al. introduced the concept of the free-style puzzle flap, in which a previously harvested flap becomes its own donor site by recycling the perforator. However, when a perforator cannot be found with a Doppler device, we suggest performing a new type of flap, the flip-flap puzzle flap, which combines two concepts: the free-style puzzle flap and the flip-flap flap described by Voche et al. in the 1990s. We present the cases of three patients who achieved complete healing through this procedure.
