To our knowledge, this is the first report of a method of stretching the interdigital skin of syndactyly by means of a pincer. The pincer, a U-shaped metal spring plate with a sponge cushion, is applied before the operation for about two months; pressure is placed against both sides of the interdigital fusion to expand the skin and to develop hollows. Use of the pincer facilitates a syndactyly operation by allowing defect coverage with a local flap only. Four patients successfully treated by this method are reported. The method has the great advantage of not requiring skin grafts, which often have unfavorable results both functionally and cosmetically.
据我们所知，这是首次报道一种使用钳子拉伸并指指间皮肤的方法。该钳子是一个带有海绵垫的U形金属弹簧板，在手术前应用约两个月；将压力施加于指间融合处的两侧以扩张皮肤并形成凹陷。使用该钳子仅通过局部皮瓣覆盖缺损就有助于进行并指手术。本文报道了4例采用该方法成功治疗的患者。该方法具有很大的优势，即无需植皮，而植皮在功能和美观方面往往会产生不良后果。
