Summary

The aim of the current report is to investigate the feasibility of transferring the free dorsal digital flap, including both dorsal branches of the proper digital nerves (PDNs), to reconstruct the volar soft tissue defect of digits. Sensory restoration of the reconstructed digit was evaluated via static two-point discrimination (2PD). The range of motion (ROM) of the donor middle and ring fingers was measured.

Detailed description

Sensory restoration of the reconstructed digit was evaluated via static two-point discrimination (2PD). The range of motion (ROM) of the donor middle and ring fingers was measured. The data were compared with those of the contralateral, uninjured hand.

Conditions

• Nerve Injury
• Digital Pulp Defect
