Abstract:
Fingertip injuries often involve the loss of skin, soft tissue, and sometimes even phalange, seriously affecting the patient's hand function and appearance. Therefore, fingertip reconstruction requires both functional recovery and aesthetics. And how to better restore fingertip defect has become an issue that hand surgeons should continue to explore. In recent years, free flaps have made remarkable progress in the field of fingertip repair, and free flaps such as radial artery superficial palmar branch free flap, free thenar flap and free toe flap provide a variety of effective methods to solve the problem. By referring to the literatures on free flap in fingertip repair, this paper summarises the application status and research progress of free flap in fingertip defect reconstruction, providing a reference for personalised treatment of patients with fingertip defect.
