Repair of Infective Wound Associated With Nerve Defect in the Finger Using A Bipedicled Nerve Flap
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nerve flap for Infection Wound and Disruption of Nerve Repair. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A combination of soft tissue and digital nerve defects in the finger results in sensory loss of the finger pulp. Reconstruction of these combined injuries is difficult. When the neurocutaneous defect is associated with wound infection, reconstructive alternatives are more limited. From July 2008 to May 2010, a retrospective study was conducted with 9 consecutive postinfection patients who had the neurocutaneous defect of the finger following trauma. The purpose of this retrospective study is to report repair of the complicated infected wound in the finger using the bipedicled nerve flap and to evaluate the efficacy of this technique.

Interventions
Based on the Teoh et al.'s technique, we combined the nerve graft into the bipedicled heterodigital arterialized island flap and used this composite flap tissue for reconstructing complicated infected wound in the finger.
