Finger Injuries
Conditions
Brief summary
objective of this study is To compare reversed cross finger flap with reversed island homo-digital flap in distal dorsal finger defect reconstruction regarding reliability & functional and aesthetic outcomes . comparative study that will be conducted at Plastic surgery department, Sohag university hospital on 30 patients .The population of the study will be patients with distal dorsal digital defects. We will divide the cases into two equal groups: the first are operated with reversed cross-finger flap and the second are operated with reversed island homo-digital flap.
Interventions
PROCEDUREReversed Cross Finger Flap
distal dorsal finger defect will be reconstructed by reversed cross finger flap \- reversed cross finger flap is a modified cross finger flap harvested from an adjacent finger .
PROCEDUREreversed island homo-digital flap
distal dorsal finger defect will be reconstructed by reversed island homo-digital flap \- this flap is harvested from the same finger .
