Injuries\n                    around the thumb constitute a specific subtype, because their fitting requires\n                    the use of techniques that are different from standard. Many different surgical\n                    options have been described for the treatment of these serious lesions,\n                    depending on site and size of the defect, as well as on bone exposition. The\n                    \u201ckite flap\u201d is one of the most popular and frequently used.\n                    Results of the treatment of 14 of the 22 patients whose defects in the thumb\n                    were fitted with the kite flap are presented. The flaps healed in all patients.\n                    At the mean follow-up of 3 years all patients declared satisfaction with the\n                    result of surgery. Most of them had slightly limited mobility of the operated\n                    thumbs but with no significant translation to the function of the hands, which\n                    was very good. The results of this study show that the kite flap is useful in\n                    reconstruction of soft tissue defects around the thumb, which are difficult to\n                    cover by more conventional techniques<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1862-8129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,19]],"date-time":"2022-07-19T18:48:27Z","timestamp":1658256507000},"page":"47-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Outcomes of Coverage of Soft Tissue Defects in the Thumb with a\n                    \u201cKite Flap\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8299-4525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"Zyluk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Hand Surgery, Pomeranian Medical University,\n                    Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filip","family":"Flicinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General and Hand Surgery, Pomeranian Medical University,\n                    Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-197903000-00008","article-title":"A new island flap transfer from the dorsum of the index to the thumb","volume":"63","author":"G Foucher","year":"1979","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e215","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1675369","article-title":"The first dorsal metacarpal artery flap family: a review","volume":"4","author":"J Couceiro","year":"2018","journal-title":"Surg J (N Y)"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"147","article-title":"The kite flap","volume":"7","author":"F Marin-Braun","year":"1988","journal-title":"Ann Chir Main"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"496","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.45B3.496","article-title":"A new method of restoring sensibility to the thumb","volume":"45","author":"J Holevich","year":"1963","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Br"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1016\/0007-1226(87)90035-X","article-title":"Dorsal metacarpal flaps","volume":"40","author":"M J Early","year":"1987","journal-title":"Br J Plast Surg"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"150","article-title":"Functional reconstruction of the palmar surface of the thumb usng the\n                    neurovascular flap from the index","volume":"31","author":"M Molski","year":"1989","journal-title":"Acta Chir Plast"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"625","article-title":"Neurovascular skin-bone combined flap from dorsal side of the index finger\n                    \u2013 a new method of reconstruction of peripheral part of the thumb\n                    (English abstract)","volume":"67","author":"M Molski","year":"2002","journal-title":"Chir Narz Ruchu Ortop Pol"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"115","article-title":"Use of the neurovascular flap from dorsal side of the index finger in\n                    reconstructions of complex, multi-tissue defects in the thumb (English\n                    abstract)","volume":"68","author":"M Molski","year":"2003","journal-title":"Chir Narz Ruchu Ortop Pol"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.1016\/S0266-7681(05)80058-0","article-title":"The provision of innervated skin cover for the injured thumb using dorsal\n                    metacarpal artery island flap","volume":"20","author":"R L Williams","year":"1995","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Br"},{"key":"ref10","first-page":"17","article-title":"Use of 1st dorsal metacarpal artery for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in\n                    the thumb (English abstract)","volume":"70","author":"A \u017byluk","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chir Narz Ruchu Ortop Pol"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1597","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2011.06.033","article-title":"Reconstruction of thumb pulp defects using a modified kite flap","volume":"36","author":"X Zhang","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Am"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1177\/1558944717736396","article-title":"Reconstruction of traumatic dorsal loss of the thumb: four different surgical\n                    approaches","volume":"14","author":"R Adani","year":"2019","journal-title":"Hand (N Y)"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"996","DOI":"10.1007\/s00104-004-0875-z","article-title":"Neurokutaner Insellappen nach Foucher.
