Restoration Of Sensibility

The reconstruction of large palmar defects of the hand remains a difficult problem due to the specific anatomical structures and highly sophisticated function of the palm. The glabrous skin and subcutaneous tissue in the palm are perfectly adapted to serve the prehensile function. The particular aim must be that repairs to this functional structure are similar in texture and colour and are aesthetically acceptable. Restoration of sensibility is desirable. For smaller defects a great variety of local pedicled or island flaps can be applied. However, for larger defects with exposed tendons, nerves or other essential structures, free flaps remain as a reliable alternative. This paper reviews our approach of soft tissue reconstruction in 16 patients with large palmar defects using various kinds of free flaps. The advantages, disadvantages and current indications for free flap resurfacing of the palm are discussed.
