Abstract:
Objective To explore a therapeutic method for repairing the avulsion injury of total hand skin. Methods Bilateral chest navel flaps with nerves were used to repair the avulsion injury of total hand skin. Two nerves of the right lateral flap were anastomosed with the first and third common palmar digital nerves respectively; two nerves of the left lateral flap were anastomosed with the dorsum manus of ulnar nerve and cutaneous branch of radial nerve respectively. Results Postoperative follow up of 12 to 15 months showed that two cases were successful. The injured hands regained thalposis and thigmesthesia; the ulnar hand had sensitive thigmesthesia when touching a table; and the grasping function of the hand recovered partially. Conclusion Bilateral chest navel flaps with nerves are recommendable to all kinds of hospitals for repairing the avulsion injury of total hand skin.
