Application of Artificial Dermis Combined With a Medial Flap From the Second Toe to Repair Degloving Injury of the Fingertip.

ABSTRACT

There is no standard technique for repairing degloving injuries of the fingertip. Nail bed flap transplantation is a common surgical technique to address this injury, but this procedure inevitably damages the donor site in the toe. This article describes a surgical technique that can restore the appearance of the injured fingernail and preserve the length and function of the injured finger without damaging the toenail.
