Repair of skin peeling avulsion of distal finger

When the skin of the distal finger is detached, it is not suitable to repair it with a skin graft. Although free skin grafting is easy to survive, the joints will gradually become stiff in the future, and because it is not protected by subcutaneous fat pads, it is difficult to withstand wear and tear, so it can only be used to temporarily close the wound. It is also not advisable to insert the peeled fingers into the subcutaneous peeling bag of the chest wall or abdominal wall, because later the separated fingers are separated from the subcutaneous bags of the chest wall or abdominal wall, and it is much more difficult to perform flap transplantation; The fixation time is too long, and it is easy to leave joint pain or functional limitation that is difficult to recover. However, this method is relatively simple. When the patient's condition is severe, it can be temporarily closed to temporarily close the wound, and then further processed after the general condition improves, such as the commonly used remote flap or remote skin tube repair.
