Reconstruction of degloved thumb with prefabricated flap

Chin J Traumatol. 2009 Jun;12(3):184-6.

Abstract

The wrap around the toe flap from the great toe is considered to be a good reconstructive proce-dure for degloved injuries of the thumb. In this study, we used prefabricated flaps of the medial plantar skin to cover a degloved injury of the thumb of a patient unsuitable for application of this method and obtained satisfactory clinical results.
