Single stage reconstruction of the right thumbnail with Novosorb® Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix (BTM) following massive glomus tumor resection
This case highlights the efficacy of single-stage BTM reconstruction following glomus tumor excision involving the distal phalanx and nail bed. The approach offers a promising alternative to conventional multi-stage reconstruction, ensuring optimal recovery and function. Further studies are needed to validate the efficacy of BTM in hand reconstruction.
