Q

The
donor site is leave to secondary intension

A

The
donor site is covered with a skin graft

43
Q

Due to the inclusion of the
donor digital nerve, most patients have s2PD <8 mm but suffer from
double-sensitivity

A

T

44
Q

Hoe you can improve the cortical orientation ?

A

Division of the nerve and coaptation to the thumb
digital nerves result in minimal loss in s2PD (<10 mm) but better
cortical integration.

45
Q

This flap is commonly used?

A

Due to the issues with donor site morbidity,
significant dissection in the palm, and poor cortical reorientation, routine use of this flap should be limited to use in combination with
other methods for subtotal thumb reconstruction as discussed later

46
Q

Microsurgical reconstruction of distal thumb soft tissue defects has
the advantage of transferring sensate soft tissue to the thumb while
limiting morbidity to the already injured hand

A

T

47
Q

The most common
method i

A

free toe-pulp flap taken from the lateral great toe,
though the second toe is an alternative donor site

48
Q

static 2PD <15mm can be achieved

A

F static 2PD <5 mm can be achieved

49
Q

Osteoplastic Reconstruction options

A

The classic description is an iliac crest bone graft and a pedicled groin flap
either in separate (flap followed by graft) or in the same operation
posterior interosseous osteocutaneous and radial forearm osteocutaneous
flaps are alternative single stage options

50
Q

this approach does
not provide sensibility to the reconstructed thumb so hoe you can provide sensibility?

A

often augmented with a heterodigital neurovascular island flap at a later operation.

51
Q

Limitation of osteoplastic reconstruction

A

the bulky appearance, bone graft resorption, need for multiple stages,
and issues with double sensitivity limit the use of this procedure

52
Q

One
stage sensate osteoplastic reconstruction has been reported

A

T

53
Q

Though these operations do not require microvascular anastomosis, the complexity of the dissection is significant and provides inferior results compared to microsurgical techniques

A

T

54
Q

microsurgical options exist for proximal phalanx amputations

A

Sensate osteocutaneous free flaps such as the radial forearm, lateral arm, or superficial circumflex iliac artery flaps
toe-to-thumb transfers

55
Q

Limitation of osteocutaneous free flaps

A

require secondary debulking

56
Q

the advantage of toe-to-thumb transfers

A

single-stage reconstruction and can be tailored to optimally restore a
functional and aesthetic thumb

A

T

59
Q

Osteoplastic reconstruction and distraction lengthening may be
options for distal metacarpal amputations

A

T

60
Q

Distraction lengthening requires
that the majority of the metacarpal remains for placement of the
external fixator.

A

T

61
Q

maximum amount of length
gained IS 5 CM

A

F 3 CM

62
Q

In proximal metacarpal
amputations, osteoplastic reconstruction and distraction lengthening can also be applied

A

In proximal metacarpal
amputations, osteoplastic reconstruction and distraction lengthening are most successful in combination with other methods such as
transfer of an injured index finger ray or microsurgical toe-transfer.

63
Q

The transfer of an adjacent finger to the thumb position on its intact
neurovascular pedicle is called a pollicization

A

T

64
Q

When transferring a partial digit to add length to the reconstructed
thumb, the term on-top-plasty

A

T

65
Q

with a fully functioning index finger, loss of grip strength and the
resulting three-finger hand provide inferior results when compared
to toe-transfer.

A

T

66
Q

On-top-plasty indication

A

toe-transfer is contraindicated due to comorbidities or the patient’s wishes. It may also be a useful adjunct to add length to the
proximal thumb in combination with toe-transfer techniques

67
Q

Toe-to-thumb transfer represents the standard of reconstruction
for complete thumb amputations proximal to the MP joint.

A

T

68
Q

In distal transmetacarpal injuries, great toe and second toe transfers can
provide adequate length and function.

A

T

69
Q

in more proximal
injuries, transfer of the great toe is t an option

A

F in more proximal
injuries, transfer of the great toe is not an option due to the need to preserve the entire first metatarsal

70
Q

Transfer of the great toe in these
cases will require adjunctive procedures to add metacarpal length in
combination with toe-transfer

A

T

71
Q

Amputation With Destruction of the TM Joint options

A

creation of a stable post
first webspace and may requireregional or free tissue transfer procedures

72
Q

at the base of the thumb or in the first webspace may be required

A

T

73
Q

Children accommodate extremely well to pollicization in congenital
and traumatic cases

A

T

74
Q

adults may require a prolonged period
of retraining and secondary procedures to optimize the function

A

T

75
Q

Second-toe transfer has been used as an alternative to reconstruct
these proximal thumb amputations when pollicization is not an
option due to injury to the index finger.

A

T

76
Q

As much as 5 cm of the
second metatarsal may be required to provide adequate length

A

T

77
Q

The blood supply from the great toe soft tissue?

A

All ofthese flaps are based on the blood supply to
the first webspace of the foot, usually from the first dorsal metatarsal
artery (FDMtA)

78
Q

One or both
of the proper digital nerves and the dorsal nerves are included for
neurorrhaphy depending on the flap design

A

T

79
Q

The venous drainage of
these flaps is most often the terminal branches of the saphenous vein
harvested from the dorsal foot

A

T

80
Q

In Great-Toe Transfer

A

Flap harvest is limited to the proximal phalanx of the hallux, preserving
at least the entire head of the first metatarsal to avoid uneven plantar
weight distribution and unsteady gait

81
Q

With sacrifice of the great toe,
there will be some decrease in push-off strength during ambulation

A

T

82
Q

The great toe will appear as a short
and broad thumb but has excellent functional outcomes.

A

T

83
Q

The wrap-around toe-transfer is a modification of the great toe flap what is it advantage ?

A

preserve all or most of the hallux to avoid donor site morbidity and
create a more normal size and contour to the reconstructed thumb.
The flap is harvested as an onychocutaneous flap and can include a
portion of the distal phalanx

84
Q

wrapped
around a degloved thumb or a bone graft as in traditional osteoplastic
techniques.

A

T

85
Q

Trimmed Great-Toe Transfer

A

the medial skin and dissected off
the trimmed-toe flap and a longitudinal osteotomy were performed
to remove 2 to 4 mm of the medial phalanges and 4 to 6 mm of the
medial prominence at the IP joint.

86
Q

due to the longitudinal osteotomy through the IP joint there is some loss of range of motion.

A

T

87
Q

Second-Toe Transfer advantage ?

A

The second toe donor site decreases morbidity to the foot relative to sacrifice of the hallux. The second-toe transfer can also include the majority of the second metatarsal allowing for reconstruction of transmetacarpal thumb amputations

88
Q

Second-Toe Transfer disadvantage ?

A

the second toe will least resemble a normal thumb in terms of its size and shape.
the second toe is prone to clawing with hyperextension of the MP joint and flexion
of the IP joint and may require capsular procedures to maximize
function

89
Q

Twisted-Toe Transfer

A

An osteoonychocutaneous flap similar to a trimmed toe is harvested from the
lateral great toe and a cutaneous flap is harvested from the medial
second toe.
The second toe flap is then twisted on its pedicle to cover
the exposed medial aspect of the great toe flap.

90
Q

The advantages
of this flap are the creation of a more normal sized thumb and the
donor site closure can recreate a neo-hallux to minimize donor site
morbidity

A

T

91
Q

Toe Pulp and Distal Trimmed Toe-Transfer used for

A

Sensate cutaneous flaps can be harvested from the great and second
toes to reconstruct isolated thumb pulp defects & partial tip amputations,

92
Q

Donor site complications from toe transfers are uncommon

A

F common. As much
as 35% of patients will have some degree of incisional dehiscence
or delayed wound healing

93
Q

When the MP joint of the hallux is preserved, both great and
second toe transfers have some degree of gait changes

A

T

94
Q

patients
with great-toe wrap around transfers have demonstrable changes
in gait.

A

T

95
Q

the major disadvantage of the greattoe transfer relative to the second-toe transfer

A

is the change in appearance of the foot and
the effect on future footwear (e.g., inability to wear sandals). The
twisted-toe technique may minimize these donor site issues

96

A

T

100
Q

when amputations distal
to the MP joint are compared, there are no statistically significant
differences between techniques Between second and great toe

A

T

101
Q

The decrease in strength seen
in some series of second toe transfers may be due to the loss of
thenar musculature in proximal amputations where the second
toe is required.

A

T

102
Q

For injuries in the proximal metacarpal, the second toe is the best
option due to the need for additional bony length

A

T
