Abstract

The aim in reconstructing the pulp injuries is to preserve the sensation, to prevent the joint contractures and to decline the aesthetic deformity. it has been defined a variety of reconstruction techniques in repairing the pulp defects of fınger trauma. Skin grafts, local advencement flaps, distant flaps, heterodigital neurovascular island flap, homodigital neurovascular island flap, toe pulp free flap are the variant choicesfor reconstruction. in this paper, it has been aimed to preserve the finger length and nail structures, to cover the exposed phalanx and to sensate the new pulp in a single operation without a long postoperative immobilization. If the dorsolateral part of the pulp defect is healthy, it will be suitable to reconstruct the large pulp defects with a neurovascular island flap. Seven men and two women were included to our patient series of local neurovascular island flap technique who had pulp defects beyond zone I due to acute trauma. The age of patients were between 2 and 49 (mean 18.2). The patients were followed up 6-18 months (mean 13.4). Postoperative assessment revealed enough subcutaneous pulp tissue, enough phalanx length and normal interphalangial joint movements. Two of our patients complained of pain and in one of patients it was found hypersensitivity. The mean two-point discrimination was 6.5 mm. This technique provides enough tissue and sensation in large pulp defects and also it can be performed in a single operation session, without long postoperative immobilization.

Özet

Parmak ucu yaralanmaları rekonstrüksiyonunda amaç uzunluğu ve duyu hissini korumak, eklem kontraktürlerini önlemek ve estetik deformiteyi en aza indirmektir. Parmak travmalarında sık rastladığımız pulpa kayıplarında değişik rekonstrüksiyon seçenekleri tarif edilmiştir. Bu seçenekler arasında deri greftleri, lokal ilerletme flepleri, uzak flepler, heterodigital nörovasküler adaflebi, homodigital nörovasküler flepler, ayak başparmak pulpası free flebi yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada tek seanslı bir ameliyat ile yaralanan parmağın uzunluğu ve tırnak yapısını koruma, açığa çıkmış falanksı örtme ve yeni pulpaya his kazandırmanın yanı sıra, uzun süre immobilizasyon uygulamadan iyileşmenin sağlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Yaralanan parmağın lateral ve dorsal kısımları sağlam kalmışsa, hazırlanacak bir nörovasküler ada flebi ile, geniş pulpa kayıplarının rekonstrüksiyonu yapılabilir. Bu çalışmaya akut travmaya bağlı zon I seviyesini aşan pulpa kaybı olan ve lokal nörovasküler adaflebi ile rekonstrüksiyon yaptığımız yaşları 2-49 arasında değişen (ortalama yaş 18.2), 7 erkek, 2 kadın hasta alındı. Hastalar 6-18 ay (ortalama 13.4 ay) takip edildi. Yapılan değerlendirmelerde pulpanın dolgunluğu, parmağın uzunluğu, falankslar arası eklem hareketleri olağan bulundu. Ağrı 2 hastada ve hipersensitivite l hastada saptandı. İki nokta ayrımı ortalama 6.5 mm saptandı. Bu teknik geniş pulpa kayıplarında yeterli doku ve duyu sağlamasının yanı sıra uzun süreli immobilizasyon gerektirmeden tek seansta uygulanabilir.
