Oblique Triangular Flap Coverage for Fingertip Amputations: A Malaysian Outcome Case Series
1Orthopedics Department, Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah, Alor Setar, MYS.
Abstract:
Fingertip amputations are complex injuries that may involve the loss of soft tissue, pulp, nailbed, tendon, and bone. Many surgical techniques have been described over the years to address these fingertip defects. The choice and method of defect coverage depends on the amount of soft tissue and bone loss. We present a case series of eight fingertip amputations that were treated with oblique triangular flap coverage. Our patients had a minimum of two months follow-up and were assessed at one year postoperatively. The favorable results observed in this series have reinforced our confidence in the reliability of this treatment technique for fingertip amputations in our Malaysian population.

Perpendicular-Axis Theorem
Consider a circular disc of mass M and radius R lying along an x-y plane. The origin lies at the center of the disc, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the disc's plane. All three axes coincide at the disc's center. The moment of inertia of this...
