[Results of surgical treatment in simple syndactily using a commissural dorsal flap. About 54 procedures].
Chirurgie de la Main 2008 April
OBJECTIVE: The authors evaluate their results of congenital syndactyly correction using a classic commisural dorsal flap technique and full thickness skin grafts to cover the lateral and medial aspect of the fingers.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: It is a retrospective study on a homogeneous series of 38 children (54 simple syndactylies) operated over a 10-year period. Twenty-two children were included with a mean follow-up of five years and 10 months.
RESULTS: This technique is reliable, reproducible, with a low rate of complications (only four complications requiring reoperation). Long-term outcomes are satisfactory in 92% of cases.
CONCLUSION: This is an effective technique, restoring the natural shape of the web space. Procedures without skin-graft are less time-consuming in terms of operational time and cosmetically acceptable, but still need to prove their worth.
