Özet

We assessed and compared outcomes of 2 different flap techniques for thumb pulp defect reconstruction. Twenty-three patients who underwent modified Moberg and first dorsal metacarpal artery flap because of thumb pulp defect were retrospectively evaluated. Flap survival; venous congestion; cold intolerance; static 2-point discrimination (s2-PD); Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (SWM) test scores; paresthesia; defect size; time to return to work; interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joint flexion of the thumb; Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire scores; and follow-up time were evaluated. Flap survival, venous congestion, time to return to work, paresthesia, defect size, SWM test scores, range of motion of the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints, and Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire scores were similar in both groups. Cold intolerance and s2-PD were found to be statistically better in the modified Moberg flap group. Although these techniques provided similar results, the modified Moberg was found to be superior in terms of cold intolerance and s2-PD.
