The authors devised the plantar rectangular flap to avoid extra skin defects on the dorsal side. Using this method, the authors can create a deep interdigital space without any exposure of skin grafts or whitish plantar skin flaps on the dorsal side. This method is not appropriate for syndactyly of the fingers but is an ideal method for syndactyly of the toes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
