Matriderm dermal substitute in the treatment of post traumatic hand’s fingertip tissue loss

Abstract: Introduction: Treatment of fingers tissue loss is particularly challenging as it often necessitates advanced reconstructive techniques such as flaps or grafts, with esthetic and functional results that are not always as good as hoped for, with long healing times. Recently, along with tissue engineering development, numerous types of dermal substitute have been commercialized, with promising possibilities of treatment in finger tissue loss. In the author's unit, Matriderm ® is the most commonly used dermal subs… Show more

“…However, only minor wounds reepithelialize without the need for transplantation [37] as also shown by Fulchignoni et al They recently published a clinical study, comparing the use of the non-crosslinked biomatrix with or without grafting in the treatment of fingertip tissue loss [38]. So, in the current study, it would have been an interesting point to analyze wounds of increasing sizes.…”

“…Recently, the moist antiseptic dressings have received global use [ 20 , 21 ], some artificial dermal substitute could even circumvent the necessity of skin graft and yield satisfying aesthetic outcome [ 22 ]. However, the usage of these substitute on bone exposure is still controversial [ 23 ], while this exposure was present in most of the cases in present study; an option is nibbling the protruding bone, which yet creates a shortened finger length [ 24 ]. But we do agree that this less invasive approach is promising and deserving more appreciation in repairing finger pulp.…”

“…Conventional repair methods for finger pulp soft tissue defects include the V–Y flap, cross-finger flap, proximal finger flap [ 19 ], digital artery inverted flap, dorsal flap of the first web [ 10 ], partial second toe transfer [ 9 ], and covering the wound with biomaterials to repair it [ 20 ]. Various flaps require different adaptation conditions [ 21 ].…”

“…The central area of the skin graft may increase the possibility of skin necrosis owing to blood accumulation and the presence of uneven stress [ 23 , 24 ]. Using a proximal finger flap [ 20 ], a digital artery inverted flap or a dorsal flap of the first web [ 10 ] to repair the defect of the distal finger pulp and fingertip is tantamount to demolishing an expensive wall and constructing a cheaper wall to replace it; the gain is lost. This approach does not conform to the principles of flap economics.…”
