However, if the level of injury is distal or the vessels of the stump have been crushed by injury, replantation cannot be a viable option. The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes of the \u201chybrid abdominal flap\u201d, which consists of a random-pattern abdominal skin flap and an autologous bone graft. A retrospective analysis was performed on fingertip amputation patients from March 2019 to April 2021. The patients were managed by either hybrid abdominal flaps (HAFs) or homodigital neurovascular island flaps (HNIFs). The functional and aesthetic outcomes were assessed three months after the operations. In this study, a total of 20 fingers were treated with either HAFs or HNIFs. There was a significant difference in the range of motion (ROM) and the scar quality between the two groups. All of the flaps survived without flap necrosis, and non-union of the bone was not observed. The patients were satisfied with the appearance and function of their fingers, including the ROM and sensory aspects. Our novel HAF is a functionally and aesthetically valid option for fingertip amputations with crushed stumps.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58101483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T02:54:25Z","timestamp":1666148065000},"page":"1483","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of Hybrid Abdominal Flap versus Homodigital Neurovascular Island Flap for Fingertip Amputation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Yung Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center, Seoul 07061, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9537-2330","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tae Hyung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Soonchunhyang University College of Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Gumi Hospital, Gumi 39371, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0235-1261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun Ho","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center, Seoul 07061, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"g255","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.g255","article-title":"Management of traumatic amputations of the upper limb","volume":"348","author":"Win","year":"2014","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1193","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000481301.25977.80","article-title":"Traumtic finger amputation treatment preference among hand surgeons in the United states and Japan","volume":"137","author":"Shauver","year":"2016","journal-title":"Plast.
