| Abstract |
Purpose: We analyzed the result of the radial forearm island flap for the reconstruction of amputated fingers.
Materials and Methods: From March 2001 to February 2004, we assessed two patients who could not be able to receive replantation and six patients who had necrosis of the fingers after replantation. There were six men and two women. The mean age was 42 years. The average duration of follow-up was 26months.
Results: All flaps were survived. Two patiens needed bone graft. Two patients needed curettage due to osteomyelitis. All patients needed fat reduction procedure. No patients needed amputation of reconstructed digit due to complication.
Conclusion: Radial forearm island flap seems useful operation procedure for severely amputated digit or necrotized digit after replantation. |
