Innervated full thickness grafts in distal finger amputations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Innervated full thickness graft will be presented as an option to reconstruct a fingertip defect which might result in better sensibility than standard reconstruction using a full thickness graft without innervation. Also, anastomosing the nerve stumps can decrease the chance of developing neuroma.

Full-thickness degloved skin graft provide durable coverage of above-knee amputations with degloving injury of lower extremities
Background: Severe degloving injury of the lower extremities is uncommon but challenging. The study aimed to present our experience of skin grafts for the salvage of severe degloved above-knee amputation stump. Methods: From September 2007 to January 2014, five patients with severe degloving injury of lower extremities were treated with immediate full-thickness skin graft following a protocol o...
متن کاملFinger tip and nail bed injuries.
Damage to any of the anatomic structures of the finger tip can result in a change in use of the hand, even making some tasks impossible. Prevention is naturally most important; however, when an injury occurs, anatomic restoration should be the goal. Treatment should be the most direct and simple to reach the optimal structural and functional result. Caveats of treatment are: (1) save nails; (2)...
متن کاملSkin grafts provide durable end-bearing coverage for lower-extremity amputations with critical soft tissue loss.
Lower-extremity amputations in the presence of soft tissue loss represent an unresolved conundrum because surgeons must consider sacrificing bone length to obtain adequate soft tissue coverage. Local flaps and microvascular soft tissue transfers are established strategies for maintaining residual limb length. However, the use of skin grafts remains controversial due to the presumed inferiority ...
متن کاملDoes Orientation of Full-Thickness Groin Grafts Affect Hyperpigmentation in Burn Contracture and Syndactyly Hands?
BACKGROUND Some grafts harvested from the groin area do not become hyperpigmented and in an individual with multiple pieces of grafts, the hyperpigmentation of the pieces may vary. This study evaluates the orientation of the inset of groin grafts according to their donor sites (superior-inferior) and its role in graft hyperpigmentation. METHODS Patients with hand burn contracture or syndacty...
متن کاملOptimal circumference reduction of finger models for good prosthetic fit of a thimble-type prosthesis for distal finger amputations.
The prosthetic fit of a thimble-type esthetic silicone prosthesis was retrospectively reviewed in 29 patients who were fitted following distal finger amputations. The aim was to correlate prosthetic fit with the magnitudes of circumference reduction in the finger models used to produce the prostheses and to identify the optimum reduction for the best outcome. A good fit is achieved primarily by...
