| Abstract: | Summary This paper describes a new technique for the division of syndactyly. The commissure is reconstructed by a dorsal trilobed flap and a zig zag incision which produces triangular flaps for the side of the digits. This technique does not require use of a skin graft. Seventeen syndactylies in fourteen children, nine incomplete (six congenital and three secondary to burn) and eight complete syndactylies were treated by this technique. The results after a maximum of twelve months follow-up and the advantages of the technique are discussed.[/ab] |
