Comparing Innervated and Noninnervated Glabrous Skin Flaps for Volar Digital Defects: Insights from Patient-Reported Outcomes

TP and MP flaps provide adequate coverage and sensory outcomes for volar digital defects without significant differences between innervated and noninnervated flap transfers. The flap choice should be tailored to individual patient needs and defect characteristics, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered decision-making in reconstructive surgery. Further research is required to explore the long-term outcomes of these reconstruction methods, especially for larger defects.

Abstract

TP and MP flaps provide adequate coverage and sensory outcomes for volar digital defects without significant differences between innervated and noninnervated flap transfers. The flap choice should be tailored to individual patient needs and defect characteristics, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered decision-making in reconstructive surgery. Further research is required to explore the long-term outcomes of these reconstruction methods, especially for larger defects.
