Dorsal Finger Reconstruction

Finger Injuries

objective of this study is To compare reversed cross finger flap with reversed island homo-digital flap in distal dorsal finger defect reconstruction regarding reliability & functional and aesthetic outcomes . comparative study that will be conducted at Plastic surgery department, Sohag university hospital on 30 patients .The population of the study will be patients with distal dorsal digital defects. We will divide the cases into two equal groups: the first are operated with reversed cross-finger flap and the second are operated with reversed island homo-digital flap.

Outcome of the Treatment of Flexor Tendon Injuries

Finger InjuriesTendon Injury - Hand

In order to gather enough data for meaningful statistics, a multicenter register of all flexor tendon repairs was established with surgical, clinical and rehabilitation patient data. The controlled active motion (CAM) protocol was administered in all patients after surgery. The purpose was to (i) measure surgery and therapy outcomes in the three centers and (ii) evaluate potential influencing factors on outcomes.

Treatment of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Injuries. Clinical Efficiency of Syndactyly Treatment...

Finger Injuries

Proximal interphalangeal joint injuries of the fingers may be treated in various ways and no treatment has been shown to be superior. The investigators wish to study the effectiveness of syndactyly versus digital splint when comparing joint mobility. The investigators also wish to study the effectiveness of finger compression in reducing edema and therefore allowing a greater arc of motion.

Silicone Finger Cap ("Silikonfingerling")

Finger Injuries

Amputation injuries of the fingertip are common in all ages. For decades it is known that conservatively treated fingertips can regenerate skin and soft tissues to form a functionally and cosmetically excellent new fingertip. Unfortunately, little is known about the mechanisms controlling this ability that, in humans, is confined to the fingertips. Even less is known about the bacteria that regularly colonize these wounds without noticeable negative impact on regeneration and healing. Medical evidence on fingertip regeneration in humans is largely limited to retrospective studies and case reports. This study will be the first randomized controlled trial on the conservative treatment of fingertip amputations in children and adults. When managed without surgery, self-adhesive polyurethane film dressings are commonly used to establish a wet chamber around the injury. This provides the best conditions for tissue regeneration inhibiting the formation of scar tissue at the same time. Unfortunately these dressings do not offer mechanical protection, they do not stick to wet skin and leak malodorous wound fluid. The investigators therefore developed a silicone finger cap that deals with these problems offering a mechanically protected, wet chamber around the injury for optimal regeneration conditions. This finger cap also offers a puncturable reservoir for excess wound fluid, which by this route can be routinely analyzed for diagnostic and research purposes. This randomized controlled trial will for the first time test acceptance, safety and efficacy of this novel medical device in comparison with conventional self-adhesive film dressings while gathering information on the clinical course and outcome of conservatively treated fingertip amputation injuries. Based on sample size calculations for primary outcome, 22 patients older than 2 years will be enrolled within 24 hours after having suffered an injury distal to the distal interphalangeal joint comprising all layers of the skin with a substance defect that cannot be primarily adapted without further shortening of the finger or plastic surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to start their treatment for the first two weeks either with a conventional film dressing or with the novel silicone finger cap. They will be changed to the other modality for another two weeks before the patient or the guardian can decide, if they would want the film dressing or the finger cap for the rest of the treatment.

Reconstructive of Multiple-digit Soft-tissue Defects Using Regional Dorsal Digital Flaps

Finger Injuries

Reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in multiple digits poses a significant challenge. This article reports simultaneous reconstruction of multiple small-to-moderate soft-tissue defects using regional dorsal digital island flaps and evaluated the efficacy of their application in such complex situation. A retrospective study will be conducted with 26 patients who had multiple-digit soft-tissue defects treated with regional dorsal digital island flaps. At the final follow-up, we will evaluate the efficacy of their application in such complex situation.

Direct and Reversed Dorsal Digito-metacarpal Flaps: A Review of 24 Cases

Finger InjuriesSoft Tissue Injuries

Multiple digital injuries are often complex and severe, and the commonly used local and regional flaps may not be feasible. The authors reconstruct soft tissue defects of the fingers using the dorsal digito-metacarpal flap and evaluate the efficacy of this technique.

Repair of Multiple Finger Defects Using the Dorsal Homodigital Island Flaps

Finger InjuriesSoft Tissue Injuries

Multiple finger defects are common in hand trauma and result in functional disability. These injuries are often complex and severe, and thus reconstructive alternatives are limited. In this study, we use the dorsal homodigital island flaps, based on the dorsal branch of the digital artery, for reconstruction of multiple finger defects. At the final follow-up, we would evaluate the efficacy of this technique.

Transthecal Metacarpal Block Versus Traditional Digital Block for Painful Finger Procedures in Children...

Finger Injuries

The purpose of this study is to determine if the transthecal metacarpal block is superior to the traditional digital block for regional digital anesthesia in children.

Comparing Two Injection Sites of Local Anesthetic for Hand Surgery

Hand InjuryWrist Injury1 more

The purpose of this study is to compare two different injection sites for local anesthesia in patients having hand surgery. The hypothesis is that subjects receiving injections around the three nerves of the forearm will provide faster pain control and greater patient satisfaction than patients having one injection closer to the shoulder.
