Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Metacarpal hand reconstruction presents challenges in achieving functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Current multi-stage techniques can lead to prolonged recovery and suboptimal results.

Observation:

  • A new hypothesis of "symbiosis" has been developed for reconstructive surgery.
  • This concept has been successfully applied to single-stage reconstruction of the metacarpal hand.

Findings:

  • The study details the concept and technique of the symbiosis hypothesis in practice.
  • The application demonstrates the merits and effectiveness of this single-stage approach.

Implications:

  • This approach may streamline metacarpal hand reconstruction, reducing patient morbidity.
