ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Assessing the clinical effectiveness of combining with the first dorsal (plantar) metatarsal artery pedicle free bilobed flap with a cell scaffold to repair mid-distal defects in adjacent fingers. METHODS: From September 2012 to April 2022, 21 patients with 42 mid-distal defects of adjacent fingers underwent treatment using combined with the first dorsal (plantar) metatarsal artery pedicle free bilobed flap with a cell scaffold. The flaps size ranged from 2.1 cm * 1.6 to 4.9 cm * 3.2 cm. Follow-up evaluations included assessing function, sensation, and appearance, etc. of the injured fingers and donor areas. RESULTS: All 42 flaps survived in 21 patients without any vascular crises, and the wounds healed in phase I. The mean follow-up time was 12.2 months (range 7-22 months). During follow-up, in injured fingers, according to the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHOQ), the functional recovery and appearance were satisfactory; in Dargan Function Evaluation (DFE), the results were both "excellent" in fourteen patients, "excellent" and "good" in five patients, both "good" in one patient, "good" and "general" in one. In static two-point discrimination (2PD), the variation ranges from 4 to 9 mm in injured fingers and 6-10 mm in donor toes. Cold Intolerance Severity Score (CISS) is mild in all patients. The visual analogue score (VAS) showed no pain in the injured fingers and donor toes. No deformities or other complications were noted at the donor toes. According to Chinese Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (C-MFPDI), there was no morbidity on foot function in all donor areas. CONCLUSION: The surgical procedure of combined with the first dorsal (plantar) metatarsal artery pedicle free bilobed flap with a cell scaffold for the repair of mid-distal adjacent fingers defect is highly satisfactory. This approach helps the injured fingers to achieve good function, sensibility and appearance, while also achieving satisfactory results in the donor toes.
