V-Y plasty was performed in 28 patients who suffered from a transverse amputation of the finger tip. Bilateral V-Y plasty was carried out in 16 cases and single volar V-Y plasty in 12 cases. The average follow-up period was 32 months. Six patients had postoperative complications, requiring reoperation in four patients. The follow-up results were satisfactory. The results showed that V-Y plasty is indicated in transverse amputations through the distal one-third to one-half of the nailbed, but only in patients to whom the length of the finger is of importance.Downloads
