Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical effect and operation difficulty of the combined skin flap with reversed proper palmar digital arterial dorsal branch island flap and cross-finger flap and the abdominal flap in the treatment of distal finger degloving injury.Methods Inclusion criteria:①Soft tissue defect far beyond the level of distal interphalangeal joints.②The inured finger was from second to fifth.③Single finger injury.④ Iniury time within 8 h.Exclusive criteria:①With tendon injury.② Multiple finger injuries.③Followed-up time within 6 months.Between February,2009 and September,2016,52 patients (52 fingers) with distal finger degloving injury were reviewed,there were 32 males and 20 females,aged from 18 to 60 (36.02±11.00) years.The time from injury to operation was 2.5-8.0 (4.81±1.28) h.Affected fingers included index finger in 15 cases,middle finger in 22 cases,ring finger in 10 cases,and little finger in 5 cases.Twenty patients (20 fingers) were treated by combined skin flap with reversed digital arterial dorsal branch island flap and cross-finger flap(group combined-flap).The cubital skin was grafted onto the donor sites.Thirty-two patients (32 fingers) were treated by abdominal flap (group abdominal-flap).Results The patients were followed-up 6-25 (9.25±3.97) months.The operation time:group combined-flap was 80-130 (98.46±8.34) min and group abdominal-flap was 85-125(107.84±8.63)min.There was no significant difference in two groups (P>0.05).Pedicle division time:group combined-flap was 15-24 (16.75±1.74) d and group abdominal-flap was 24-45 (28.31±5.12) d.There was a significant difference in two groups (P<0.05).And the pedicle division time in group combined-flap was much shorter than in group abdominal-flap.Flap function at last follow-up,the excellent and good rate of the flap in group combined-flap and group abdominal-flap was 90.00% and 59.38%,respectively.There was a significant difference in two groups (P<0.05),and the flap function in group combined-flap was much better than in group abdominal-flap.Affected finger function at last follow-up,the excellent and good rate of the affected fingers was 95.00% and 71.88%.There was a significant difference in two groups (P<0.05),and the affected finger function in group combined-flap was much better than in group abdominal-flap.Conclusion The combined skin flap with reversed digital arterial dorsal branch island flap and cross-finger flap is a simple and high-survival-rate flap,whose texture,appearance and clinical outcome for repair of distal finger degloving injury are much better than traditional abdominal flap.
