Long-term outcomes of atasoy flap in children with distal finger trauma
The Journal of Hand Surgery Apr 25, 2019
Haehnel O, et al. - Researchers investigated if the Atasoy flap (AF), a vascularized, subcutaneous pedicle V-Y advancement flap, is a safe, reliable flap that results in few complications and gives satisfactory functional and cosmetic results in children. They performed a retrospective assessment of 30 children with distal finger trauma who underwent AF pulp reconstruction in their pediatric orthopedic department between 2008 and 2017. Outcomes revealed contrasting results with the AF. They identified that it is highly reliable, has good coverage, and minimal donor-site morbidity but with suboptimal tip length/shape, nail appearance, and sensitivity.
