PURPOSE: Interdigitating triangular flaps is the most commonly described technique for syndactyly release. However, triangular flaps may be associated with flap misalignment, flap tip necrosis, and a steep learning curve in design and technique. This study describes a series of syndactyly reconstructions using interdigitating rectangular flaps in both simple and complex syndactyly.
METHODS: A single surgeon's experience of syndactyly reconstruction using interdigitating rectangular flaps was reviewed retrospectively. Patient demographics, associated syndromes, operative technique, complications, and recurrences were analyzed.
RESULTS: Ninety-four web spaces in 50 children with 16 simple incomplete, 36 simple complete, 14 complex, 26 complicated, and 2 unclassified syndactylies were reconstructed with interdigitating rectangular flaps. Seventy-eight commissures were reconstructed with a dorsal pentagonal island flap and 16 with a dorsal rhomboid flap. Full-thickness skin grafts were used in 98% of webs. Five major complications required surgical intervention-2 recurrences, 2 web space scarrings, and 1 wound infection. Ten minor complications occurred-skin graft donor site dehiscence (3), partial loss of the skin graft (4), minor distal interphalangeal joint flexion contractures (2), and a case of minor web creep (1). Average follow-up was 13.7 months. All parents were satisfied with the function and appearance of their child's reconstructed digits.
CONCLUSIONS: Interdigitating rectangular flaps provide an effective technique for release of both simple and complex syndactyly. Advantages include easy learning owing to the relative simplicity of design; intraoperative modification of flap design (cut as you go), and wide flap tips, which prevent flap tip necrosis.
TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic IV.
