“…Jeyakumar and Kumar (2019) also found similar finding where right hand digital injury occurred in 86 (71.08%) patients and only 35 (28.92%) patients had injury in the left hand, with a total 121 cases. [10][11][12] Those findings were similar to present study. Among the current study subjects, more than one third (37.5%) of the patients (15 out of 40) were found injury of index finger followed by 8 (20.0%) in middle finger, 6 (15.0%) in ring finger, 3 (7.5%) in little finger and 1 (2.5%) in thumb.…”

“…This is probably due to right hand dominance in most of the people. Panda (2017) reported that out of 72 patients of his study, 53 (73.61%) patients had injury in the right hand and 19 (26.39%) had in the left hand. Jeyakumar and Kumar (2019) also found similar finding where right hand digital injury occurred in 86 (71.08%) patients and only 35 (28.92%) patients had injury in the left hand, with a total 121 cases.…”

Background: Hand injuries can cause major functional and cosmetic concerns. The cross-finger flap (CFF) is an effective treatment for complex finger defects. While CFF has typically been employed to treat volar aspect abnormalities, new versions now address a larger variety of digital soft tissue defects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of various modified techniques of cross-finger flap which are used to reconstruct different soft tissue defect of fingers. Methods: This was a prospective observational study carried out in the department of Burn and Plastic Surgery at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from September 2018 to February 2020. Forty (40) patients who presented with different soft tissue defect of fingers included in this study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The study involved predominantly male participants (80%), with a mean age of 31.70±14.28 years. The most common soft tissue defect site was the volar area (47.5%), and various modified cross-finger flap techniques were employed. The majority of patients achieved excellent functional outcomes, with 82.5% classified as good, 12.5% as satisfactory, and 5.0% as poor. Conclusions: The modifications of the cross-finger flap are versatile and useful for different sites of digital injuries with good functional outcome.
