Objective. Hand injuries in children are quite common. Most challenging within plastic and reconstructive surgery/reconstructive microsurgery expertise were there traumatic hand defect and upper extremities open injuries sequels. There were wide variety of reconstruction techniques to deal with hand defects in general and with distal phalanx defects particularly. The core problem is how to make very choice of reconstructive method and technique from diversity of local, regional and distant flaps. Injuries of distal phalanges are the most common type of hand trauma in children. The problem of coverage of soft tissue defects of distal phalanges remains actual. A lot of methods of coverage of distal phalanges defects are developed. There is no generally accepted approach or an algorithm in the treatment of adults and children with such type of trauma.Material and methods. In the period from 2018 to 2021 at the Microsurgery Department of N.F. Filatov Moscow Clinical Hospital for Children 152 surgical operations using local (68), regional (72) and distant (12) flaps were performed.Results. All flaps in all patients within our clinical series have survived. There were neither major complication no secondary revisional procedures. Used different flaps in general provided transport of adequate viable donor tissues to recipient areas of critical functional significance. The selection of particular flap we have been making on individual basis mostly depending on type and injury severity, and functional requirement and prognosis.Conclusion. We are considering surgeon’s own experience is main defining factor to make selection of certain method from the diversity of different flaps.
