The deformity should be easily reducible in the acute phase, but if left untreated, it shortens the oblique retinacular ligament, leading to chronic contracture. This is a challenging issue in hand surgery, as chronic central slip defects cannot be sutured like other tendon. Various methods for reconstructing central slips have been discussed, but the best method for subacute or chronic injuries remains unclear. This case presents a case of chronic traumatic boutonniere deformity with central slip defect reconstruction.</p></div><div><h3>Case report</h3><p>A 65-year-old male patient presented with swelling and boutonniere deformity on the digiti III of the right hand. The patient had previously fallen from a motorcycle, and the patient's right middle finger got was by a motorcycle six months ago. After the incident, the patient's right middle finger cannot be fully extended. The patient's right hand showed edema with flexion of the interphalangeal (PIP) joint and hyperextension of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint. The Range of Motion (ROM) of the PIP joint right middle finger was 45–110 degrees. The X-ray of the right hand AP/oblique showed no bone involvement in the deformity. The patient underwent central slip defect reconstruction utilizing the partial ulnar side of the flexor digitorum superficial tendon. A PIP joint extension splint was applied for 2 weeks. Active and passive exercise of the ROM of the PIP joint began after 2 weeks of PIP extension joint splinting. The patient's ROM of the PIP joint (0–90 degrees) significantly improved 1 month after surgery. The patient's ROM of the PIP joint returned to normal after 2 months after surgery. The function of the patient's right hand is evaluated with the DASH score, which improves significantly from 50 to 4.2.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Central slip defect reconstruction utilizing the partial ulnar side of the flexor digitorum superficial tendon is a reliable method for traumatic chronic boutonniere deformity and results in great functional outcomes after 2 months of follow-up.

Several surgical methods can be used to repair thumb distal amputations, including composite graft, flap reconstruction, replantation, and amputation revision. In this case report, we describe a successful surgical procedure performed on three healthy men (19, 26, and 44 years old) who suffered a sharp amputation of their left and right hands thumb. In one case initial fixation of the amputated part was performed by a general orthopedic surgeon as a composite graft, two other cases were referred us without any procedure. The procedure involved irrigation and minimal debridement and deepithelializing the amputated part and fixation it with one or two 1.5 mm steinman pins and repairing the nail bed with7/0 absorbable sutures. An adiposofaciocutaneous flap from the index finger was used to cover the pulp of the thumb and the nail bed, while a full-thickness grafts from the same wrist in one case and medial part of ipsilateral arm in others were used to repair the defect on the dorsal side of the index finger. The wound was dressed, and the sutures were removed after two weeks. The base of the flap was detached from the index finger after three weeks, and the kwires were removed after six weeks. The flap and graft were successfully taken, except for a small part of the tip of the thumb. Two years after the operation, in two patients and 3 months in whom was operated recently, all the patient's thumbs had a reasonable shape and length with minimal nail deformity.
