ABSTRACT
loss of valor fingertip pulp is frequent in hand trauma. Eighty-six homodigital flaps (22 Tranquilli; 20 Hueston; 40 Single Pedicle Island and 4 Kutter) were performed from Jannuary 1994 to July 1998, to repair volar fingertip substance loss, except for the thumb. The mean age was 28 years (ranging from 18-58) and the average post-operative follow-up period was 12 months. We analyzed advancements, sensitivity and cold intolerance for each flap used Tranquilli (0.4cm/8mm/6); Kuttler (0.3cm/10mm/3); Hueston (1.0cm/9mm/5); Single Pedicle Island (1.5cm/8mm/6). The single pedicle island flap was demonstrated to be clearly better in all aspects analyzed. We consider the utilization of homodigital flaps the first choice alternative for reconstruction fingertips. (AU)#TRA
