A new M-V flap technique effectively reconstructs the hand's web space in syndactyly and contracture release. This versatile surgical method achieved excellent results in 90% of patients with no complications.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Syndactyly and web contractures significantly impair hand function.
  • Existing surgical techniques for commissure reconstruction can be limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel operative technique for creating a supple and broad commissure.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of the M-V flap in syndactyly and web contracture release.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 63 M-V flap constructions in 33 patients.
  • Follow-up averaged 19 months, assessing functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Evaluation included assessment for neurologic and vascular complications.

Main Results:
