“…LFF is reverse transposition flap which is harvested from the lateral aspect of the finger. The LFF is easy to harvest [ 12 ], but minor dog ear deformities can occur. To solve this problem, we invented an island-type LFF (iLFF).…”

“…Many authors believe that the risk of skin necrosis is reduced by skin flaps such as a rhomboid flap, digital artery perforator flap and rotation flap, which allow excision of mucous deposits invading the thin skin overlying the cyst. Therefore, many authors advocate skin excision and the use of local flaps to cover the resulting defect [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…6 show a representative case.Outcome measuresPostoperative flap survival, incisional healing and infection were evaluated. The ROM of the DIP or thumb IP joints 2 months postoperatively was measured.Postoperative patients' satisfaction was assessed by VAS score at the least times follow-up.Statistical analysisA paired t-test was used to compare the pre-and postoperative ROMs of the DIP or thumb IP joints.Statistical significance was accepted for probabilities < 5% (P<0.05).…”

Background : Many patients have skin defects after digital mucous cyst (DMC) excision, and this study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of using a bipedicle advancement flap to cover such defects. Methods : From January 2016 to January 2018, DMCs on 18 fingers of 15 patients (4 males and 11 females, with a mean age of 64 years) were treated with cyst and osteophyte excision and a bipedicle advancement flap to cover the resultant defect in this retrospective study. Postoperative flap survival, healing and infection were evaluated. The pre- and postoperative ranges of motion (ROMs) of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) or thumb interphalangeal (IP) joints were recorded. Postoperative patients’ satisfaction was assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS; 0～10). Results : The patients were followed up for 12-36 months (mean, 20 months). All the flaps survived, the incisions healed well without infection, and no cyst recurrence occurred. The postoperative ROM of the affected fingers was restored to the preoperative ROM by two months after surgery. No difference was found between the preoperative and postoperative ROMs. The score of patients’ satisfaction for surgery by means of VAS was 8.5±1.0. Conclusions : The bipedicle advancement flap is a simple and effective technique for covering skin defects following DMC excision.

“…Therefore, many authors advocate skin excision and the use of local flaps to cover the resulting defect [5][6][7][8][9]. Although the function of skin flaps is often more satisfactory than that of skin grafts, most of the designs and procedures for skin flaps are relatively complex.…”
