Considering nailbed hemodynamics, when performing replantation for degloving injury, in which the nailbed remains, being adhered to the distal phalanx, but not to an amputated finger, debridement of the nailbed and distal phalanx region to which the nailbed is adhered to on initial surgery may facilitate the avoidance of unnecessary surgery, shortening the treatment period and leading to early rehabilitation.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Degloving injury is a serious trauma of the fingers.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In this study, we performed replantation for degloving injury of 3 fingers in 2 patients, and obtained findings regarding nailbed debridement on initial surgery.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Considering nailbed hemodynamics, when performing replantation for degloving injury, in which the nailbed remains, being adhered to the distal phalanx, but not to an amputated finger, debridement of the nailbed and distal phalanx region to which the nailbed is adhered to on initial surgery may facilitate the avoidance of unnecessary surgery, shortening the treatment period and leading to early rehabilitation.

Abstract

Degloving injury is a serious trauma of the fingers. It is difficult to establish an adequate extent of debridement at the time of initial surgery. Therefore, additional surgery for necrotic areas related to circulatory failure is required in many cases. In this study, we performed replantation for degloving injury of 3 fingers in 2 patients, and obtained findings regarding nailbed debridement on initial surgery. Considering nailbed hemodynamics, when performing replantation for degloving injury, in which the nailbed remains, being adhered to the distal phalanx, but not to an amputated finger, debridement of the nailbed and distal phalanx region to which the nailbed is adhered to on initial surgery may facilitate the avoidance of unnecessary surgery, shortening the treatment period and leading to early rehabilitation.
