Abstract:
In this review, an international group of senior hand surgeons was asked to provide their currently used methods, views, and advice on thumb and fingertip repair. The basic requirements and methods of thumb and fingertip repair are first outlined, followed by descriptions of the methods favored by individual units or surgeons. More recent innovative methods and modifications are described and challenging topics are discussed. This review ends by illustrating and discussing a few exploratory treatments that hold promise of greatly changing future perspectives of this common clinical problem.
