The Dorsal Homodigital Island Flap Based on the Dorsal Branch of the Digital Artery: A Review of 171 Cases

At final follow-up, sensory restoration of the flap is measured using the static 2-point discrimination test and Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test. We evaluate pain sensations of the reconstructed fingers and donor sites with a visual analog scale. The system consist of a 10 cm line that is grouped into mild (0-3 cm), moderate (4-6 cm) and severe (7-10 cm). Active motion of the joints is measured using a goniometer. The motion arcs of the reconstructed fingers are compared with the opposite side.
