Ray resection is a safe and effective surgical technique for children, yielding excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes when finger preservation isn't possible. This salvage procedure addresses various hand deformities and injuries in the pediatric population.

Area of Science:

  • Hand surgery
  • Pediatric orthopedics
  • Reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • Ray resection is a salvage procedure for hand deformities, tumors, trauma, infections, or congenital malformations.
  • Limited published data exists on pediatric ray resection, with most studies focusing on adults or case reports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of ray resection in pediatric patients.
  • To describe key surgical technique aspects for pediatric ray resection.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients undergoing ray resection between 2010-2015.
  • Inclusion criteria: one or more ray resections, minimum one-year follow-up.
  • Evaluation included clinical characteristics, functional/cosmetic results, complications, and patient satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Four pediatric patients met inclusion criteria (mean age 5 years).
  • Etiologies included fibrolipomatous hamartoma, traumatic amputation, radial deficiency, and syndactyly.
  • All patients achieved excellent clinical and functional results with high satisfaction, and no post-operative complications or need for psychological support.

Conclusions:

  • Ray resection is a useful and safe technique in the pediatric population.
  • It yields excellent cosmetic and functional results when finger preservation is not feasible.
  • This procedure is a valuable option for complex hand conditions in children.
