A finger tip injury is one of the most common traumatic lesions of
the hand. Pain or dystrophy at the finger tip impairs the function
of the whole hand. Many of the distressing sequels of finger tip
injuries like painful scar, cold sensitivity, poor sensation etc
can be avoided by coverage with flaps. Often the injury is of such
nature, simple flaps like Klienert or Kutlar flaps are not suitable
and a resort to flaps from adjacent fingers may be required for a
good outcome. A useful and simple flap for such defect is the
dorsal cross finger flap. Sensation in the flap is imperative to
the proper functioning of the reconstructed finger tip. The study
to observe the way to return of two point tactile discrimination in
the flap after its division is a method of identifying adequate
functional re-innervations of the flap. The mean differences
between the 2PTD of final follow-up and the mean 2PTD of flap donor
site (expected to be recovered with time) was shown improving
gradually and significantly. So the sensory outcome in terms of
static 2-point tactile discrimination of cross finger flap was both
clinically and statistically satisfactory.
