Abstract

Background: Hand has important role and soft tissue defect of fingers are the most common form of hand injuries. There are various techniques used for reconstruction of finger defect but cross finger flap is effective without significant complication or require special techniques. Objectives: Evaluation outcomes of cross finger flap for reconstruction of soft tissue defect of fingers. Materials and methods: Patients who had soft tissue defect of fingers who had undergone the cross finger flap cover were included in the study. We evaluate outcomes by recorded were flap viability, flap sensibility using two -point discrimination (TPD), total active motion of fingers (TAM) and patient satisfaction. Results: We recorded 33 patients treated with cross finger flap. There were 22 men and 11 women with the average age 36,52±13,59. The mean size of flap was 283,70±55,47 mm2 (208 – 480 mm2). The average TPD test measured was 8,55±1,87 mm. Full range of motion was excellent in 90,01% of patients. The functional and aesthetic results were satisfactory in 96,97% patients. Conclusion: The cross finger flap is safe and effective method for reconstruction of soft tissue defect of finger. This procedure helps to preserve max lenght of fingers and is able to provide both mechanical stability & sensory recovery.
