Successful closure of soft-tissue defects over functionally significant structures of the finger was achieved using a specialized flap technique.
Eighteen long fingers of fifteen patients with post-traumatic contractures were treated, highlighting the procedure's applicability.
The method combined tenolysis, arthrolysis, and tendon lengthening when necessary, showcasing a comprehensive surgical strategy.
Technical simplicity and reliability of this approach may enable broader application in similar soft-tissue reconstruction cases.
