Clinical Trial Summary

Our study aims to prospectively compare outcomes of conservative treatment (occlusive dressing) to surgery with a palmar bipedicled island flap (modified Tranquilli-Leali flap) in the management of Allen zones II-III-IV fingertip injuries in long fingers. Based on these results, the investigators intend to help provide guidelines to optimize the management, and eventually the satisfaction of these patients.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators intend to conduct a prospective tricentric (Hand Surgery Service in CHUV( Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Lausanne/ Hand Surgery Service in HUG (Hôpitaux Universitaire de Genève and Hand Surgery Service in Valais hospital, Sierre), open-label, randomized controlled trial: Occlusive dressing versus surgery in fingertips amputation. The investigators will collect demographic data and informations about the injury including age, sex, medical history and daily medications, occupation, dominant hand, active smoking, mechanism of injury, associated injuries, time from injury to management, size and geometry (volar/transverse/dorsal) of defect, level of amputation (Allen classification), injury and repair of the nail bed. Patients will be randomized into the occlusive dressing group or the surgical group on their first visit to the Hand Surgery department. Both groups will have 6 months and 1-year follow-up appointment, including Ultrasound evaluation. ;
