The actual indications of cross finger flaps in finger injuries.

More than thirty years after its description, the cross finger flap is still widely in use. Its main technical data are reviewed. The follow-up show that this procedure remains indicated in deep losses of substance of the palmar aspect of the basal or middle phalanx. Its use on the terminal phalanx remains controversial, but it is still useful when elaborated microsurgical procedures are contraindicated or not available.

Follow-Up Studies

The asymmetric arterial advancement flap in distal pulp loss (modified Hueston's flap.

The technique proposed is an advancement-rotation plasty for volar coverage, as is Hueston's technique. It differs by the fact that the neurovascular bundle on the side opposite the cutaneous base is advanced as well. While this modification leads to limited possibilities of advancement, it seems that tactile sensibility might be improved.

Finger Injuries

[Median nerve compression syndrome at the elbow (author's transl)].

Twelve cases of median nerve compression at the elbow are presented. More than half of them showed only an anterior interosseous nerve syndrome (Kiloh-Nevin). Nevertheless, surgical exploration was performed from the brachial tunnel to the superficialis arch. When the neurolysis occurred reasonably early, uniform good results were obtained.
