Clinical Example: Bilateral complete syndactyly release with toe pulp grafts for fingertips
| Complete complex syndactyly
presents a number of problems, including
lack of adequate pulp soft tissue on the adjacent sides of the
fingertips: there is none. There are three technical approaches for
this problem: local flaps, skin grafts and composite tissue
grafts. This is an example of the use of composite toe pulp grafts. |

middle-ring syndactyly. |
| The same procedure was
performed bilaterally at the same setting. Composite skin-subcutaneous
tissue grafts were
harvested from the lateral aspect of the great toe and transferred to
the adjacent sides of the separated fingertips. |
