Abstract

Background: The finger perforator artery flap is a good choice for treating soft tissue defects of the finger. Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics and assess the treatment results of finger soft tissue defects with finger perforator artery flap at Can Tho Central General Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional description of 39 patients with soft tissue defects of the finger who were treated with plastic surgery by finger perforator artery flap at the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery from 01/2021 to 06/2022. Results: The most affected fingers were finger 1 (38.5%), distal phalanges (92.3%), and amputated finger form (71.8%); The mean area of the lesion and the skin flap were 347.26 ± 86.81mm2 and 429.23 ± 135.81mm2, respectively; The average duration of treatment was 1.77 ± 0.95 days; The survival rate of skin flap is 92.3%; 1 month after surgery, the good rate of skin flap is 100%; After 03 months of surgery, 89.7% of cases have good finger motor function; Satisfaction rate of patients at the very satisfied and satisfied level is 94%. Conclusion: A finger perforator artery flap was used to cover finger soft tissue for total vital flap rate (92.3%). It is a good aesthetic material for treating finger soft tissue defects due to its ability to cover function, restore movement and achieve patient satisfaction.
