Approximately 50% of hand injuries attended in the emergency room correspond to the fingertips, among these the management of amputations requires adequate coverage, ensuring tactile sensitivity, preservation of finger length and provision of a growth bed and pad for the nail and pulp respectively; thus, with esthetic and functional results that allow an early labor incorporation. This article describes the Atasoy or V in Y flap technique, a tool that achieves the reconstructive goals in oblique or transverse dorsal amputations. The above based on the literature, corpse dissections and successful clinical cases. MÉD.UIS. 2018;31(1):57-63.
