Injury Arm Clinical Trial
Official title:
V-Y Flap Versus Occlusive Dressing in Treating Fingertip Injuries With Exposed Bone
Fingertip is a complex structure that is responsible for the fine function of the fingers and the whole hand. A fingertip injury is any soft tissue, nail or bony injury distal to the insertions of the long flexor and extensor tendons of a finger .Fingertip injury is a serious condition that if untreated properly could lead to significant functional disability and disuse of the injured finger. Up to date, defining the best treatment option for this injury remains controversial. Hand surgeons are divided between proponents of flap coverage and conservative treatment, driven by beliefs, training programs and financial aspects. After recently reviewing the literature for the current best evidence and fundamentals of conservative treatment, Krauss and Lalandei in their recent review of the literature, pointed out to the necessity for implementing controlled trials to compare both ways of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and the results of occlusive dressing
in treating fingertip injuries in comparison to flaps with much concern to certain factors
that are closely related to our locality including patient compliance for regular follow up ,
functional outcome , time to return to work and its socioeconomical impact and cosmetic
results .
Surgical group will undergo surgical coverage of the fingertip defect by V-Y flap using the
skin on the volar aspect of the same finger designed as V shaped then mobilized dorsally to
cover the defect and stitches to be Y shaped. Stitches are removed after 2 weeks.
Conservative group will undergo minimal trimming of the bone end and an occlusive dressing
that is changed on a weekly basis till complete healing of the defect that occurs after 6
weeks
