RESUMO
Objective To explore and solve the problem of insufficiency and malformation due to cripple hand and defect of digital bone resulted of innate and injured. Evaluation to the methods of bone autografting combinated with flaps to reconstruct the deficient hand and digits. Methods Vascularized iliac bone or metatarsophalangeal joints (MPJ) or toes transplantation incorporated with flaps were used to reconstruct the defected bone in palm or fingers. Combined with tendon absence in such cases should be repaired or restituted by tendon autografting in one stage or by stages. Results Total 16 cases were treated by the methods metioned above. Except 1 of 16 was failure resulted in severe infection, the others were reconstructed successfully. 13 of 16 were followed up 8 months to 2 years, the evalution of the group from motion,sensation and appearance shew that the fine rate of motion was 53.8 percent, the rate of appearance and sensation were both 69 percent. Conclusion Vascularized iliac bone or metatarsophalangeal joints (MPJ) or toes transplantation incorporated with flaps are available to reconstruct the defected bone in palm or fingers, and can reduce disability effectively while obtain a satisfactory outlook and proper functions by those methods.
