Fingertip amputations are complex injuries that may involve the loss of soft tissue, pulp, nailbed, tendon, and bone. Many surgical techniques have been described over the years to address these fingertip defects. The choice and method of defect coverage depends on the amount of soft tissue and bone loss. We present a case series of eight fingertip amputations that were treated with oblique triangular flap coverage. Our patients had a minimum of two months follow-up and were assessed at one year postoperatively. The favorable results observed in this series have reinforced our confidence in the reliability of this treatment technique for fingertip amputations in our Malaysian population.
指尖离断伤是一种复杂的损伤，可能涉及软组织、指腹、甲床、肌腱和骨骼的缺失。多年来，人们描述了许多外科技术来处理这些指尖缺损。缺损覆盖的选择和方法取决于软组织和骨质缺损的程度。我们报告了一组8例采用斜三角形皮瓣覆盖治疗的指尖离断伤病例。我们的患者至少随访了两个月，并在术后一年进行了评估。该系列观察到的良好结果增强了我们对这种治疗技术在马来西亚人群中治疗指尖离断伤可靠性的信心。
