Thumb degloving injuries present challenges for replantation. A novel technique using the amputated thumb as a template for radial forearm flap (RFF) design improved tissue estimation and reduced complications.
Area of Science:
- Reconstructive surgery
- Microsurgery
- Hand surgery
Background:
- Thumb degloving injuries are complex, often leading to unsuccessful replantation due to vascular challenges.
- Complete thumb avulsion at the metacarpophalangeal level requires innovative soft tissue reconstruction.
