Abstract

Aim: Decreasing patient morbidity and enhancing satisfaction with the aesthetic outcome and function of fingertip injuries. Methods: In this uncontrolled clinical trial study, 20 patients with fingertip injuries were evaluated. The functional outcome is determined using two points discrimination test, assessment of healing time, operative time as well as partial and complete flap necrosis. While the aesthetic outcome is evaluated using VAS for pain. Results: Only one major complication was present. The average healing time was 4 weeks. The patients reported good aesthetic and functional outcomes. Conclusion: Extreme Atasoy flap is a reliable choice for coverage of fingertip injuries, Ishikawa zones 1 and 2, and even distal zone 3. It could be mobilized safely up to 20 mm and cover oblique defects. The good esthetic outcome, color match, good sensation, and very low donor area morbidity recommend it to be the first choice in fingertip distal half reconstruction in cases of tissue loss, with or without bony loss.
