    Postburn nailfold retraction can cause nail deformity and limit finger joint movement. A new surgical flap technique effectively reconstructs the nailfold, restoring function and appearance after burns.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Burn Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Postburn nailfold retraction is a common complication.
    • It leads to significant functional impairment, including nail deformity and loss of distal interphalangeal joint flexion.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with postburn nailfold retraction affecting the left thumb, index, and middle fingers.
    • The retraction caused noticeable nail deformity and restricted joint mobility.

    Findings:

    • A novel surgical technique involving a proximally based transposition flap was employed for nailfold reconstruction.
    • This method successfully addressed the nailfold retraction and its associated deformities.

    Implications:

  • This flap technique offers a viable solution for correcting postburn nailfold deformities.
  • Restoration of nailfold anatomy can improve both the cosmetic appearance and the functional range of motion of the digits.
