    • Plastic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Thumb and index finger pulp loss presents a significant reconstructive challenge.
    • Traditional methods may have limitations in achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the efficacy of toe pulp flaps based on the first dorsal metatarsal artery.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of this technique in reconstructing thumb and index pulp defects.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of nine cases utilizing first dorsal metatarsal artery toe pulp flaps.
    • Surgical reconstruction of thumb and index finger pulp defects.

    Main Results:

    • The study reviewed nine toe pulp flaps based on the first dorsal metatarsal artery.
    • Excellent reconstructive results were achieved for thumb and index pulp loss.

    Conclusions:

    • First dorsal metatarsal artery toe pulp flaps are a viable and effective method for thumb and index pulp reconstruction.
    • Specific indications for this technique yield excellent outcomes.
