Abstract:
Hook nail deformity results in aesthetic and functional problems after fingertip amputations. Previously described techniques do not correct the osseous defect, which may be the principle cause of the problem. We present a surgical technique based on a compound homodigital advancement flap combining bone of the distal phalanx, finger pulp, and skin. We describe this technique, report a case, and discuss the advantages over former techniques.
