The Dorsal Homodigital Island Flap Based on the Dorsal Branch of the Digital Artery: A Review of 171 Cases

China173 participantsStarted 2006-01

Plain-language summary

Soft tissue reconstruction in the finger continues to evolve. The dorsum of the finger is a reliable flap donor site in reconstructive hand surgery because of its similar quality to the original. The dorsal homodigital island flap can be used as a reliable alternative for reconstructing small to moderate defects of the fingers. In this retrospective study, the investigators would evaluate the efficacy of the technique for tissue reconstruction in different regions of the finger, with an emphasis on sensibility, pain and donor site morbidity.
