Objective:To explore the surgical method and therapeutic effect of repairing soft tissue defect of digit-tip with single subcutaneous pedicle V-Y advancing flap combined with skin grafting.Methods:From August 2013 to December 2020, 25 soft tissue defects of digit-tip were repaired by a single subcutaneous pedicle V-Y advancing flap combined with pedicle skin grafting. The area of the defects was 0.8 cm× 0.8 cm to 1.6 cm× 1.4 cm. The flaps were harvested from palm or lateral side of the wound and the area of flap was 0.5 cm×1.0 cm to 0.8 cm×2.5 cm. In order to make the flap transfer to a further distance, the subcutaneous fibre connection of the flap was cut-off during the operation. At the same time, cut off 1 side of subcutaneous pedicle. Finally, the advanced distance of the flap reached 0.5-1.2 cm. After the flap harvested, the medium thickness skin was removed for graft to close the donor site from the wrist striations. After the surgery, follow-up visits were conducted regularly by outpatient clinic, or via telephone or WeChat review or by home visit. Throughout the follow-up, the flap appearance, sensation and recovery of the function of digital joint were observed, together with the patient satisfaction. Results:After the surgery, the postoperative follow-up lasted for 4 months to 8 years. All 25 flaps and skin grafts were survived in first stage wound healing. The flaps and skin grafting areas had excellent texture. The fingerprint had been reconstructed with good appearance. The TPD was 4-9 mm, the functions of digital joint recovered well, and there was no complain about a discomfort at the donor site. According to the evaluation standard of Michigan hand function questionnaire, all 25 patients were very satisfied with the overall appearance and function of the hand. According to Total Angle of Motion (TAM) evaluation standard, finger mobility was excellent in all 25 patients.Conclusion:Subcutaneous V-Y advancing flap combined with skin grafting is an ideal method for repairing soft tissue defect of digit-tip. The surgery characterises a simple flap cutting, less traumatic damage, long advancing distance of flap and good repair effect.

Objective:To investigate the surgical method and therapeutic effect of reconstruction of distal blood supply of multiple segments of severed finger body by ortho phalanx artery bridge transfer.Methods:Between November, 2005 and February, 2019, 7 finger body was replanted in 7 cases with 3 segments. Due to the short middle finger body and severe bruising, the power could not pass through the middle section after the proximal finger artery anastomosis. For the long section of blood supply, in order to prevent the skin and blood vessels from separating too much and causing the middle internal artery to separate from the phalanx, after anastomosis of the middle artery, the blood supply was provided by anastomosis with the distal phalanx artery by means of the adjacent phalanx artery bridge. Four cases with vascular pedicle grafts. The skin was sewn into tube in 3 cases, and separate fingers between 3.5 and 6.0 months after operation. Four cases of posterior artery recalcitration and 3 cases of direct adjacent artery transposition. The appearance, sensation and total motion of finger joints were observed and the satisfaction of patients was investigated to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results:Seven patients with replantation finger were all alive after operation, and the follow-up time was 5 to 40 months respectively. The total range of motion of flexion and extension of finger joints was 100°-170°, and the TPD of finger pulp was 7-12 mm, with an average of 9.6 mm. According to Michigan's functional questionnaire, 7 patients were satisfied with the overall appearance and function of their opponents. According to the evaluation standard of the replantation function of the broken finger of the Chinese Medical Association, 3 cases were excellent and 4 cases were good.Conclusion:It is a simple and effective way to reconstruct the blood supply of multi-segment severed fingers by means of adjacent finger artery bridge transfer.

To evaluate the surgical technique and clinical effect of applying Flow-through flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery for bridging finger replantation complex defect of soft tissue and vessel. Methods From February, 2013 to March, 2018, 9 cases of severed fingers composited defect of soft tissue and vessel were treated with Flow-through flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery.The flap was designed from the proximal end of rasceta and the donor sites were sutured directly. The size of flaps was 3.0 cm ×1.5 cm-4.0 cm×2.2 cm. The superficial branch of the radial artery in the flap was used to bridge the finger artery. And the vein of proximal and distal ends in the finger was bridged by the subcutaneous vein. The proper palmar digi-tal nerve defect was bridged by palm skin graft of median nerve. The appearance, feeling and joint function of fingers was followed-up regularly after operation. Results All transfering flaps survived and all cases were followed-up for 7 to 33 months. The donor sites got primary healing with straight scars. The appearance and texture of the flaps were satisfactory. Two-point discrimination ranged from 8 to 11 mm. The pain sensation, warmth sensation and touch sen-sation of the flaps got better. And the appearance and functions of severed fingers recovered well. Conclusion The Flow-through flap pedicled with superficial palmar branch of radial artery is easy to harvest and anastomose, which is masked and a small incision for the donor site. It is an ideal method for bridging severed fingers and repairing of fin-ger wound.
