Intérêt du lambeau d’éponychium dans les amputations en zone 2 de pulpe chez l’enfant : à propos de 23 cas

This article aims to present a new method for correcting bony deformity in racquet thumb. Methods We operated on 37 thumbs of 32 patients (age, 17–52 years) with racquet thumb using a procedure that included narrowing the nail bed, recreating the lateral nail fold, making a bone defect in the widened proximal base, and exposing more proximal nail bed. The ratio of the length to the width of the nail was calculated. Results The ratio of the length to the width of the nail increased from 0.55 before surgery to 0.78 at the final follow-up visit. Most patients were satisfied with the cosmetic and functional results. Conclusions This technique is simple, safe, and both cost- and time-effective and is a good option for the repair of racquet thumb.
