  • RECONSTRUCTION OF NAIL FOLDS BY DOUBLE PULP FLAP IN CONGENITAL COMPLETE SYNDACTYLY RELEASE

    OBJECTIVE: To introduce a surgical approach for reconstruction of nail folds in congenital complete syndactyly release. METHODS: A narrow flap and a broad flap were raised on the common distal phalanx to cover the denuded nail-edge in 30 fingers of 15 cases whose webs were separated. RESULTS: All of the flaps were successfully transferred and survived. The reconstructed nail folds had satisfied figure in 21 out of 30 fingers. The nail folds in the other 9 fingers, covered by a broad flap in 2 fingers and by a narrow flap in 7 fingers, were a little smaller than normal. All of the 30 fingers had normal fullness of pulp and no twisty nails. CONCLUSION: The reconstruction of nail folds by double pulp flap can be performed with a one-stage technique, and the outcome is satisfactory, which make it as a good surgical approach to reconstruct nail folds in congenital complete syndactyly release.
