Trapped finger injury.

Forty-one patients with trapped finger injuries, 50% of whom were three years of age or younger, were studied. All patients were treated with a conservative regimen, and a satisfactory result in terms of the appearance and function was achieved in 95% of patients, thus eliminating the need for more complex surgical procedures. In the paediatric age group, a secure dressing is imperative for the satisfactory union of tissue. Such a regimen eliminates the need for hospital admission and general anaesthesia, and, in terms of the final result, supports the hypothesis that, in the very young, a certain amount of regeneration occurs to compensate for lost tissue.

The neuro vascular flap in finger tip injuries.

The Kutler technique to restore skin cover in finger tip injuries was modified by mobilising the lateral triangular flap completely on its neuro-vascular bundle. Resultant increased mobility permitted greater advancement of the flap to allow adequate cover of the denuded finger tip. A unilateral flap is often sufficient.

[Classification of total and subtotal amputations].

Up to now the succes rates in replantation surgery which are reported in the literature do not include the functional results. To compare the final functional results it is necessary to have a common international classification of what is a complete amputation and what is a incomplete one. It is then important to compare only similar subtotal amputations. In this paper we suggest a definition and classification of amputations in the upper extremity in the following way: type I....bone type II....extensor tendons type III....flexor tendons type IV....palmar digital nerves type V....skin A subtotal amputation will intakt flexor and extensor tendons as well as palmar nerves should be classified as "type II, III. IV".
