Suitable for the injury caused by the left thumb III degree defect. Treating diseases: thumb reconstruction Indication Suitable for the injury caused by the left thumb III degree defect. Contraindications Avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy food, diet is based on high-nutrient and digestible foods, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, drink plenty of water, keep the stool smooth.

Surgical procedure 1. The injury caused a III degree defect in the left thumb. Show, little finger is missing. The thumb is curled and contracted. The middle and the ring refer to the dry necrosis of the stump. 2. The second toe transplantation incision was designed in the right foot with the dorsal artery of the foot and the saphenous vein as the vascular pedicle. 3. According to the area of the thumb of the healthy side, the forearm flap with the radial artery and the cephalic vein as the vascular pedicle was designed on the volar side of the right forearm to repair the left thumb. 4. The second toe with the dorsal artery of the foot and the saphenous vein as the vascular pedicle was taken as described above. The second toe is completely free except for the vascular pedicles. 5. Cut the forearm flap pedicled with the radial artery and cephalic vein. 6, remove the thumb stump bone scar. Fully release the first and second metacarpal space to open the thumb. Separation of the thumb and the flexor tendon on both sides of the nerve. Bite off the hardened bone ends. Anatomy of the snuff pocket for transverse incision, separation of the cephalic vein and radial artery. The forearm flap was moved to the receiving area. The donor skin is repaired with a medium-thickness skin. 7. The forearm flap was transplanted into the defect area of the thumb and skin, and fixed with a number of needles in the affected area. The radial artery and the proximal end of the cephalic vein on the flap pass through the subcutaneous tunnel and are anastomosed to the radial artery and cephalic vein of the forearm. 8. The second toe is moved to the stump of the thumb, and the bone end is repaired and fixed internally. Long toe, flexor tendon and thumb length extension, flexor tendon suture. Sew the bilateral toe fingers. The dorsal artery and saphenous vein were respectively anastomosed with the radial artery and cephalic vein in the flap, and the blood circulation of the thumb was reconstructed by vascular tandem anastomosis. 9. Rebuild the thumb extension function after two years. complication Nursing intervention to ensure the patient's good coordination has been in an emergency state, and the postoperative position is forced, which can easily lead to anxiety and sleep disorder. At the same time, reconstruction refers to a high risk of surgery, a failure or complications. Patients are often difficult to accept, so nurses should do postoperative health education.
