Objectives/Interrogation: To explore the surgical method of applying the lobulated flap designed on the polyfoliate posterior interosseous artery perforator(PIAP) to repair the soft tissue defect on fingers and report the clinical outcome.

Methods: From Aug 2011 to Feb 2015, there were 12 patients suffered with soft tissue defect on fingers, repaired with PIAP flaps through anastomosing one group vessel with perforator. All wounds of donor site were closed primarily.

Results and Conclusions: All flaps of 12 cases survived. The clinical results were satisfactory after 3-15 months of following-up. The TAM was 150°-265° (contralateral, 255°-270°).

The use of applying the PIAP lobulated flap to repair the soft tissue defect on fingers is a functional, feasible and effective treatment method.
