Repair of Soft Tissue Defect of the Finger Using the Heterodigital Neurocutaneous Island Flap
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating the neurocutaneous island flap for Sensory Reconstruction of the Volar Aspect of the Finger and The Heterodigital Neurocutaneous Island Flap. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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 digital island flap can be used for repairing the defect of adjacent finger, but the limited length of the pedicle precludes its use for a more distal defect. The heterodigital neurocutaneous island flap of the dorsal branch of the digital nerve can be used as an alternative to resolve this problem.

Interventions
The neurocutaneous island flap of the dorsal branch of the digital nerve can be used for repair the defects of the proximal and middle phalanxes of adjacent fingers.
