A novel "jam roll" cross-finger flap technique reconstructs fingertips. This method offers a reliable solution for various fingertip injuries, demonstrating frequent clinical application.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Hand Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Fingertip reconstruction presents unique challenges due to the complex anatomy and functional demands of the hand.
Traditional methods may have limitations in achieving optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes for fingertip defects.

Observation:

A specific technique utilizing a deepithelialized cross-finger flap, styled in a "jam roll" fashion, has been developed.
This surgical approach aims to provide adequate tissue coverage and preserve sensation for reconstructed fingertips.

Findings:

The described deepithelialized cross-finger flap technique is effective for fingertip reconstruction.
The "jam roll" method has demonstrated relatively frequent indications and successful application in clinical practice.
