Impact of defect size and bone or tendon exposure on outcomes of artificial dermis repair for finger defects
Artificial dermis offers reliable coverage for finger pulp defects but shows clear limitations in larger defects and those with bone or tendon exposure, where sensory recovery and aesthetic outcomes are compromised. These findings underscore the need for cautious patient selection and further comparative studies.
