Reconstruction of a Distal Dorsal Thumb Defect

چکیده
DESCRIPTION A 61 year-old man was referred for management of a distal dorsal squamous cell carcinoma of the thumb with involved distal phalangeal periosteum. The dorsal cortex of the distal phalanx and all nail-producing and hyponychial tissues were excised and sent for pathology. No tumor was found; thus, the remaining volar distal phalanx was conserved.

متن کاملNasal Hump Reduction may Improve Dorsal Nasal (Rintala) Flap
Introduction: Skin defect reconstruction following tumor resection, is a challenge for surgeons. Nose as a key point of aesthetics has a significant role in this scenario. One of the practical approaches is dorsal nasal flap (Rintala) to cover lower 1/3 nasal defects. The disadvantages of this method are limitation to reach lower areas, especially nose tip, flap ischemia and wound dehiscence....
متن کاملFirst dorsal metacarpal artery flap for thumb reconstruction: a retrospective clinical study
Extensive pulp (zone 4) defects of the thumb, with the exposure of tendon or bone, are challenging reconstructive problems. Surgical treatment includes the use of local, regional, and free flaps.

متن کاملفلاپ آزاد گراسیلیس برای پوشش نقص بافت نرم دیستال ساق؛ گزارش مورد
Sometimes, because of lack of proper coverage of distal fractured legs, these fractures cause loss of the skin and expose the distal Tibial bones on the medial sides. In such situations, there are two ways for the soft tissue reconstruction: 1. Cross leg flaps and 2. using free flap with microvascular anastomosis. In the present article a case of free Gracilis flap transfer for reconstruction o...
