ABSTRACT

Las lesiones digitales distales han fomentado un gran debate referente a su tratamiento, que puede ser: quirúrgico o conservador. El tratamiento, en definitiva, siempre se encamina a lograr cubrir los tejidos expuestos y epitelizar el pulpejo del dedo afectado. Durante muchas décadas, ha existido la evidencia de que la cicatrización secundaria puede ser beneficiosa y logra resultados favorables; sin embargo, por diferentes motivos ha quedado rezagada frente a la opción quirúrgica. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con amputación traumática del extremo distal del 3er dedo de la mano derecha, que fue tratado de forma conservadora, y se logró buenos resultados estéticos y funcionales. Revisamos en la literatura la validez y equivalencia entre el resultado conservador y el quirúrgico


Distal digital injuries have presented a great debate regarding its treatment, it could be: Surgical and conservative. The treatment is always aimed at achieving coverage of exposed tissues and epithelialization of the affected finger pulp. There has been evidence for many decades that secondary healing can be beneficial for the patient with favorable results, however, due to different aspects, it has lagged behind the surgical option. We present a case of a patient with traumatic amputation of the distal end of the 3rd finger of the right hand, which was treated conservatively, finding good aesthetic and functional results over time. We review in the literature the validity and equivalence in the conservative and surgical result.Keywords: digital amputation, hand, pulp injury, conservative treatment, secondary scarring.
