ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of subdermal vascular network skin graft in severed finger reunion with small area skin defects.Methods Modified subdermal vascular network,which was inversion thin and middle thick,was used to repair defect of severed finger reunion without exposure of blood vessel.There were 10 patients and 14 fingers,including 7 patients and 10 fingers injured in the dorsal sid with 5 fingers' extensor tendon exposed,and 3 patients and 4 fingers injured in the palmar side with 2 patients' flexor tendon exposed.The defect area was ranged from 1.0 cm × 0.8 cm to 3.0 cm × 1.5 cm.Results In 6 larger subdermal vascular network,skin's edge became blue and blister appeared in the middle.The others was good with skin texture and aspect.Conclusions Modified subdermal vascular network skin graft is safe and effective choose to solve severed finger reunion with smnall area skin defects.
