Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pelnac artificial skin one-stage surgical direct repair of significant toenail flap donor area defects.
Methods
From March 2020 to May 2023, a total of 56 patients with traumatic finger injuries underwent reconstruction using a great toenail flap combined with iliac bone grafting, along with one-stage artificial skin repair of the great toenail flap. These patients were followed prospectively, and their clinical outcomes were systematically evaluated.
Results
The average follow-up was 13.4 months (3 to 30 months). The visual analog scale for pain was 0.23±0.6, and the Vancouver scar scale (VAS) was 2.82±1.06. Among 56 patients, only one case developed postoperative infections. The aesthetic satisfaction of the donor area of the patient's foot was 87.10±5.48 points (out of 100 points). Regarding the sensory recovery, the response “normal or near normal” was obtained in 44 patients (78.6 %). The maximum active mobility of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and the distal interphalangeal joint in the donor area was 66.51±7.38°and 43.21±4.62°, respectively.
Conclusions
Given its low donor-site morbidity and favorable cosmetic and functional outcomes, one-stage reconstruction of donor site defects using artificial dermis represents an effective and clinically viable treatment option.
