This study introduces a single-stage thumb reconstruction using a radial artery flap and bone graft, offering improved sensitivity and shape compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Thumb reconstruction is crucial for hand function.
  • Traditional methods like tubed flaps have limitations.
  • A novel approach combining vascularized tissue and bone is explored.

Observation:

  • A single-stage procedure was developed for thumb reconstruction.
  • This technique utilizes a free transfer of a sensitive radial artery flap.
  • Autologous bone graft implantation was performed concurrently.

Findings:

  • The presented method offers advantages over standard tubed flap techniques.
  • Key benefits include a single-operative session, enhanced flap tissue sensitivity, and excellent thumb shape.
  • No secondary modeling was required for the reconstructed thumb.

Implications:

  • This technique provides a potentially superior option for thumb reconstruction.
  • It may improve patient outcomes and reduce treatment duration.
  • Further clinical evaluation of this single-stage approach is warranted.
