Use of Arterialized Venous Flaps to Preserve Full Digital Length in Revascularization of Partially Amputated Digits: Two Cases

Use of Arterialized Venous Flaps to Preserve Full Digital Length in Revascularization of Partially Amputated Digits: Two Cases

ABSTRACT This case series illustrates the successful use of arterialized venous flaps (AVFs) in digital revascularization. AVFs facilitated tension‐free vascular anastomosis and provided soft tissue coverage, allowing preservation of digital length while restoring function. Our findings support the...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT This case series illustrates the successful use of arterialized venous flaps (AVFs) in digital revascularization. AVFs facilitated tension‐free vascular anastomosis and provided soft tissue coverage, allowing preservation of digital length while restoring function. Our findings support the expanding role of AVFs in hand trauma reconstruction and challenge the conventional necessity of bone shortening.
