Applied Anatomy
Morphology ofAbductor Digiti Minimi
Abductor digiti minimi is located in the lateral margin of
foot, deep surface close to the plantar surface of fth metatarsal, surrounded by supercial plantar aponeurosis, originates from the plantar surface of calcaneus tuberosity, plantar
aponeurosis and adjacent intermuscular septum. The starting
point is covered by exor digitorum brevis, and the muscle
bers move forward to the two short tendons. The lateral tendons reach the trochanter of fth metatarsal, and the medial
tendons join with exor digitorum brevis tendon and end at
the lateral side of the base of the proximal phalangeal of little
toe.
Vasculars ofAductor Digiti Minimi
Most of the arteries (91.37%) are from the branch of lateral
plantar artery, and a few (8.63%) are from dorsalis pedis
a
artery. Along the distance between exor digitorum brevis
and quadratus plantaris, the nerve is divided into two to six
branches along the way, with an outer diameter of 0.2–
0.5mm, to the exor digitorum brevis and the corresponding
skin (Fig. 2.70). Veins of abductor digiti minimi ow into
lateral plantar vein. Each abductor digiti minimi has two to
seven veins with an outer diameter of 0.6 mm.
Nerves ofAbductor Digiti Minimi
The nerves are 60% from lateral plantar nerve, 30% from
medial calcaneal nerve, and 10% from medial plantar
nerve. After the nerve starts, it is externally attached to the
medial side of calcaneus and enters the muscle at the proxi-
mal end of the muscle. The nerve runs through the whole
muscle, and the average length of the nerve trunk is
0.75 cm. The transverse diameter at the starting point is
0.6–1.8mm, and the transverse diameter at the entry point
is 0.4–1.8mm.

Surgical Methods
A longitudinal incision is made in the lateral plantar nonweight- bearing area. Cut the skin to expose abductor digiti
minimi, taking care not to injure lateral plantar artery on the
medial side of the muscle. Abductor digiti minimi tendon is
cut off near the base of the proximal phalangeal bone of little
toe, and the lateral plantar vessels are cut off and ligated at
the distal side of the myocutaneous ap, and the proximal
branch entering the muscle should be reserved, and exor
digiti ap is dissociated. To cover the recipient site with the
ap when it is ready. When the donor site cannot be sutured
directly, it can be covered with free skin graft.
Keypoints forApplication
The following points should be noted in clinic: (1) More than
90% of the blood supply of the ap comes from lateral plantar artery. The lateral plantar nerve is close to its companion,
and the lateral plantar neurovascular pedicle should be the
rst choice; (2) Separation of skin and muscle should be prevented when the ap is dissociated.

2.6.1 Thumb Reconstruction by Second Toe
Transplantation
Arteries
There are two commonly used blood supply arteries for toe
transplantation, which are, “dorsalis pedis artery → rst
plantar dorsal artery → dorsal digitorum artery” and “dorsalis pedis artery → deep plantar branch → rst plantar metatarsal artery → proper plantar digitorum artery” (Fig.2.71).
Dorsalis Pedis Artery
Dorsalis pedis artery is a direct continuation of anterior tibial
artery (95%), a small number of which originate from the
branch of peroneal artery (3%) or from the conuence of
anterior tibial artery and the branch of peroneal artery (2%).
At the proximal end of rst metatarsal space, it is divided
into rst dorsal metatarsal artery and deep plantar branch.

Along the way are medial and lateral anterior malleolar
arteries, medial and lateral tarsal arteries, and arcuate artery.
Dorsalis pedis foot artery is absent or slender (absent less
than 1%) in 4.0–6.7%.
Dorsalis pedis artery is often palpable lateral to extensor
hallucis longus, which is supercial and covered by extensor
hallucis brevis. The length of dorsalis pedis artery is 6.5–8cm
and the outer diameter is 2.5 (1.0–3.9) mm.
First Dorsal Metatarsal Artery
After initiation, the accompanying vein and deep peroneal
nerve go forward in rst metatarsal space, the vein is
supercial, the nerve is middle, and the artery is the deepest.
Gilbert classied rst dorsal metatarsal artery into three
types (Fig.2.72) according to its depth and branching form
in the path. The occurrence rate of each type is signicantly
different in each report, and the comprehensive average is:
Type I: 53.5%, rst dorsal metatarsal artery runs the super-
cial surface of interrossei, or is covered with thin layer
interrossei at the proximal end.
Type II: 38.5%, rst dorsal metatarsal artery runs in interos-
sei or the deep surface of the muscle.
Type III: 8.0%, dorsal metatarsal artery is small, or absent.
The blood supply of the second toe is the plantar metatarsal artery or planter digitorum artery.
First dorsal metatarsal artery gradually shallowed at the
distal end of rst metatarsal space and formed two dorsal
digitorum arteries, which, respectively, entered the dorsal
subcutaneous side of the opposite edge of great toe and second toe. Another branch near the bifurcation communicated

Fig. 2.73 The origin type of 1st plantar metatarsal artery
with plantar digitorum artery, and the anastomosis rate is
86.8–100%.
First Plantar Metatarsal Artery
According to Xu Dachuan etal.’s report, there are 4 different
types at the beginning of rst plantar metatarsal artery
(Fig.2.73).
Type I: Originating from an artery arch of deep plantar
bench and plantar arch accounts for 60%.
Type II: Originating from the continuation of dorsalis
pedis artery or an artery arch of deep plantar branch and
plantar arch accounts for 30.9%.
Type III, IV: They are the direct continuation of medial
and lateral plantar arteries.
The proximal segment of rst metatarsal artery is deep,
located under adductor hallucis and near the deep surface of
the lateral side of rst metatarsal bone. A typical “X” type
artery anastomosis is formed between exor hallucis brevis
and the branch of medial plantar artery behind the samoid
bone (Fig.2.74).
Blood vessels involved in the formation of an “X” type of
cross: The lateral of proximal end is the lateral side of the
proximal segment of rst plantar metatarsal artery. The lateral of distal end is the lateral side of the distal segment of
rst plantar metatarsal artery: The medial of proximal end is
the branch of medial plantar artery. The meidal of distal end
is tibial plantar digitorum artery of great toe.
The distal length of rst plantar metatarsal artery is
3–4cm, and the external diameter of the artery is 1.2 (0.7–
2.4) mm.
Dorsal andPlantar Digitorum Arteries
Dorsal and plantar digitorum arteries have tibial and bular
arteries respectively, which are the continuation of dorsal or
plantar metatarsal artery respectively and become terminal
branch. Plantar digitorum arteries are constant, thick, and are
the main blood supply arteries of toes. Only 2%–6% of dorsal digitorum artery is larger than plantar digitorum artery,
the external diameter of plantar digitorum artery is 1.1 (0.6–
2.1) mm, and dorsal digitorum artery is 0.6 (0.3–1.2)mm.
There are multiple anastomoses between plantar digitorum
artery and dorsal digitorum artery, often two to three arterial
arches form trafc on dorsum of toe.
Veins
There are supercial and deep veins in the foot and toes. In
the deep group, the veins are accompanied by the arteries of
the same name, and there are mostly two veins, which are
relatively small compared with the arteries. In the supercial
group, the veins are thick and rich, but varied in course and

located in supercial fascia. There are extensive anastomotic
branches in deep and supercial veins. Dorsal digitorum vein
converges at toe wed to form dorsal metatarsal vein, which
then joins with the adjacent veins in a network or arched
form into great and small saphenous vein. The supercial
dorsal foot vein system is used as the venous return system
of toe transplantation, which is “dorsal digitorum
vein→dorsal metatarsal vein→dorsal venous arch
(net)→great saphenous vein” (Fig.2.49).
Nerves
1.Proper plantar digitorum nerve on both the tibial and bular side, which is accompanied by proper plantar digitorum
artery. The nerve is located inside the artery. Proper plantar
digitorum nerves of great toe, second and third toes are all
emitted by common plantar digotorum nerve (a branch of
medial plantar nerve).
Announcements
The following points should be noticed in clinic: (1) Incision
design should be correct. When there is large soft tissue
defect in the recipient site, ap can be carried on the dorsal
side of the toe, skin cannot be used to cover the vascular
pedicel, but can be used on the lateral wound. Excess skin
should be removed before suturing; (2) When dissociating
blood vessels, the unknown direction of the branch should
not be easily ligated and cut off; (3) Blood vessels, nerves,
tendons, and bones should be measured and severed according to the desired length of the affected area; (4) The subcutaneous tunnel through the vascular pedicle should be
spacious to prevent hematoma, so as not to affect the distal
blood supply due to vascular compression; (5) Vascular anastomosis ensures quality. One to two more vessels can be
anastomosed when conditions are available, such as rst dorsal metatarsal artery plus anastomosis of plantar digitorum
artery or plantar metatarsal artery; (6) Minimize the anatomy
of plantar pedis as much as possible, pay attention to the
repair after toe incision, avoid residual complication of donor
site; (7) The blood circulation of the reconstructed nger
should be observed closely in the early postoperative period.
Once vascular crisis occurs, it should be timely managed.
When conservative treatment is ineffective and blood vessel

embolism is suspected, exploration should be active and
timely. Thrombosis is the most serious complication. If not
treated in time, it will eventually lead to necrosis of the transplanted toe; (8) Under the guidance of rehabilitation physician, early systematic treatment, and efforts to restore hand
function.
2.6.2 Finger Reconstruction by Second
andThird Toe Transplantation
The arterial and venous pedicles of the second and third toes
are the same as that of the single second toe transplantation.
The blood supply of the third toe is obtained through the
vascular trafc branch between the second and third toes.
Arteries
The blood supply artery of the second and third toes is the
same as that of the second toe alone, which has plantar and
dorsal systems. There are two commonly used arteries, “dorsalis pedis artery → rst dorsal metatarsal artery → dorsal
digitorum artery”, “deep plantar branch of dorsalis pedis
artery → rst plantar metatarsal artery → plantar digitorum
artery”. The position of plantar digitorum artery and plantar
metatarsal artery is constant, and the vessel diameter is large.
When rst dorsal metatarsal artery belongs to Gilbert type III
or type II b, its anatomical exposure is relatively difcult and
complex, and often needs the plantar artery blood supply
system, which is also facilitated by common artery or supercial palmar arch on the palm side. There are anastomoses
between the trunk and branches of dorsal metatarsal, dorsal
digitorum, and plantar digitorum arteries, communicating
the blood supply to the two toes and both sides of the toes.
There is also artery communication between second and
third toe webs. Second dorsal metatarsal artery gives off
branches at toe web to communicate the blood supply of second and third toes.
Veins
The vein system of the second and third toes is the same as
that of the second toe alone, which is “dorsal digitorum
vein→dorsal metatarsal vein→dorsal venous arch
(net)→great saphenous vein.”
Nerves
The nerve distribution of the third and second toes is the
same.
Announcements
The following points should be noticed in clinic: (1) Strictly
indicated, combined transplantation of second and third toes
is suitable for patients with total defect of second to fth
ngers; Or two to four ngers in the adjacent two ngers in
the proximal phalanx base defect accompanied by the adjacent nger shortage; (2) If two ngers need to be reconstructed, the second toe is cut from each foot to reconstruct,
then the foot loss is less, and the foot shape is symmetrical
after surgery; (3) Only the anastomosis of rst dorsal metatarsal artery, the second and third toes can survive, but the
blood supply of the third toe is insufcient after surgery, so it
is appropriate to carry out multi-vessel anastomosis; (4) The
repair of lateral tendon bands, lumbricals, and interossei
should not be neglected.
2.6.3 Metacarpophalangeal Joints
Reconstruction by Second andThird
Metatarsophalangeal Joints
Transplantation
Applied Anatomy
The Structure ofJoints
The metatarsophalangeal joint is an elliptical joint consisting
of the head of metatarsal bone and the base of proximal phalangeal bone. The head of metatarsal bone can be divided
into three parts, with the upper one-third facing upward, the
middle one-third facing forward, and the lower one-third facing downward. The highest point of articular surface radian
is at the junction of the upper one-third and the middle onethird. The articular surface of the proximal phalangeal base
is shallow socket. When the joint is at rest, the articular surface of the proximal phalangeal base is in contact with onethird of the articular surface of the metatarsal bone, making
the metatarsophalangeal joint in a dorsiexion state. The
capsule is attached to the periphery of both articular surfaces.
The dorsal articular capsule is loose, with the extensor tendon strengthened, and the collateral ligaments strengthened
on both sides. The ligaments start from the nodules on both
sides of the metatarsal bone and end obliquely at the base of
the proximal phalanges and on both sides of plantar plate.
Fibrochondral plantar strengthens on the plantar side of the
joint capsule, and the back of plantar plate fuses with the
joint capsule, which becomes the expansion part of the joint
surface of the proximal phalangeal base. When the toe
extends, the plantar plate slid to the distal side, and when the
toe exes, the plantar plate slid to the proximal side. The
metatarsal surface fuses with the brous sheath of exor
digitorum tendon, and together surrounds the brous bone
tunnel. The proximal end is thinner, attached to the metatarsal neck, and the distal end is thicker, attached to the metatarsal lip of proximal phalanges, and the two sides are connected
with the lateral collateral ligament and the deep transverse
ligament of metatarsal bone. Due to the thickness and toughness of plantar plate and the structural characteristics of the
articular surface, the exion range of metatarsophalangeal

77
joint is much less than the extension range. Active dorsiextension ranges from 50° to 60°, passive dorsiextension ranges
from 85° to 95°, active plantar exion ranges from 30° to
40°, and passive plantar exion ranges from 45° to 55°. It
can be seen that metatarsophalangeal joint and metacarpophalangeal joint is similar in morphological structure but
completely different in functional activities. The former is
mainly dorsiextension, while the latter is exion. These
structural and functional differences should be noted during
metatarsopalangeal joint transplantation.
Blood Supply ofJoints
Arteries: The blood supply of the metatarsophalangeal joint
is rich, including dorsal tibial and dorsal bular branches
(three to four branches) from dorsal metatarsal artery, the
plantarsal tibial and plantar peroneal branches of plantar
metatarsal artery, and the posterior articular artery branches.
When each artery reaches the proximal part of the joint,
small joint branches with an external diameter of 0.3–0.5mm
are formed. The joint branches are anastomosed with each
other in the joint capsule to form a joint vascular network.
According to its distribution location, it can be divided into
joint capsular branches, condyle branches, and metaphyseal
branches, which enter the joint within a range of 5mm at the
distal and proximal ends of the joint capsule.
Veins: The veins of the joint are accompanied by the
arteries of the same name, most of which are two, smaller in
diameter than the arteries, and part of which merge into the
deep veins accompanying the arteries, but most of which
merge into the dorsal metatarsal vein through the trafc
branches between the supercial and deep veins, and serve
as the main channel of venous return of metatarsophalangeal
joint.
Nerves ofJoints
Second metatarsophalangeal joint is supplied by the dorsal
branch of deep peroneal nerve and supercial peroneal nerve
and the plantar branch of medial plantar nerve. The nerves of
third metatarsophalangeal joint are supplied by the dorsal
branch of supercial peroneal nerve and the plantar branch
of medial plantar nerve. Each joint has about 8–10 branches,
with a diameter of 0.3–0.5mm.
Surgical Methods
The surgery is divided into two groups at the same time. One
group dissociates the blood vessels, nerves, and tendons in
the recipient site, and removed the injured metacarpophalangeal joint to prepare for metatarsophalangeal joint transplantation. Another group dissociates metatarsophalangeal joints.
Cut off the diseased metacarpophalangeal joint: The
tourniquet is applied to the proximal arm with a pressure of
40kPa (300mmHg). An “S” shaped incision is made on the
dorsal side of metacarpophalangeal joint to expose extensor
digitorum tendon. The tendon cap tissue is cut along the
ulnar side of the tendon, and the tendon is retracted radially
to expose metacarpophalangeal joint below it. The articular
tissues such as the deep transverse ligament of the metacarpal are cut off around the joint capsule, and the disaffected
joint is removed with bone knife or electric saw from the
metacarpal neck and the base of the proximal phalanx. After
arthroplasty, bone of metacarpal and phalanx stump should
be normal, without sclerosis of bone stump and stenosis of
medullary cavity, so as to avoid bone nonunion after joint
transplantation.
Dissociate the vasculars and nerves of the recipient
site: There are two ways to do it: (1) Blood is supplied by
palmar common artery and dorsal palmar vein returns, which
should be rst choice when the metacarpophalangeal joint is
less injured and there are normal blood vessels for anastomosis. Dorsal palmar vein and dorsal cutaneous nerve of hand
can be dissociated in the incision for reserve. Cut the skin
and palmar aponeurosis along proximal palmar print or thenar print on the palmar side, and dissociate common palmar
digital artery and nerve between exor digitorum tendons to
the normal part for use. (2) Blood is supplied by the deep
palmar branch of radial artery in snuffbox and cephalic vein
returns. A 5cm long oblique incision is made in the snuffbox
of the wrist, parallel to the skin margin of rst web space of
hand. Cephalic vein and supercial branch of radial nerve
are dissociated in the incision, the deep fascia is cut open,
and the deep branch of radial artery is dissociated under the
tendon. The dissociation length of the blood vessel is about
3cm for use. The subcutaneous tunnel of the two incisions
should be opened, and the tunnel should be two transverse
ngers wide to avoid compression of the vascular pedicle.
When this is done, a tourniquet is released and the bleeding
in the wound is stopped completely.
Dissociate metatarsophalangeal joint: Elevate the
extremities without exsanguination and apply a tourniquet
to the upper thigh at 80kPa (600mmHg) pressure. A “S”
shaped incision is made on the dorsal side of metatarsophalangeal joint, with a length of about 10cm. If the recipient
site is anastomosed with cephalic vein, it can be dissociated
to great saphenous vein; if the recipient site is anastomosed
with dorsal metacarpal vein, it can be dissociated to dorsal
metatarsal vein. Then cut deep fascia, dissociate dorsal
metatarsal artery, type I is supercial, located in the supercial layer of interossei, accompanied by deep peroneal
nerve; type II in the space between the bone and interossei,
only a small segment within the muscle around the originating point, nd out the artery, on both sides dissociate it
sharply, to 1cm proximal metatarsophalangeal joints, pay
attention to the branch ligation, the trunk should not be
damaged. Deep peroneal nerve is also dissociated from the
joint. The branch of the toe is cut and ligated at toe web. At
the level of proximal phalangeal osteotomy, the tibial lateral

78
2 Anatomy oftheHand andFoot
phalangeal artery of the second toe is cut off and ligated, so
that the phalangeal artery and dorsal metatarsal artery would
be closely connected with the metatarsophalangeal joint, so
as to ensure the blood supply of the graft joint. A branch of
supercial peroneal nerve to metatarsophalangeal joint is
dissociated subcutaneously on the peroneal side. The ligaments around the joint capsule are cut off along the metatarsophalangeal joint capsule, and the exor tendon sheath is
lengthways cut on the plantar side to keep plantar plate connected to the joint, and the neurovascular bundle should be
connected to the skin on the bular side to ensure the blood
supply of the toe. If the recipient site is anastomosed with
radial artery, dorsalis pedis artery should be dissociated,
extensor tendon should be cut off at the base of metatarsal
bone, and dorsalis pedis artery should be found below it.
Then, sharp cuts should be made along both sides of the vessels to the desired length. The interossei should be incised at
the base of the metatarsal bone, and the deep plantar
branches should be cut off and ligated to make dorsal metatarsal artery and dorsalis pedis artery continuous. If dorsalis
pedis artery is type III, dissociate plantar metatarsal artery
as the pedicle. The metatarsophalangeal joint is truncated
with a bone knife or electric saw according to the length of
the defect of the recipient site. Release the tourniquet to
observe blood supply. In case of a defect of skin and tendon
in the recipient site, skin, and tendon grafts can be carried
out simultaneously.
Joint transplantation: After the preparation of the recipient site, the blood vessels in the donor site are cut off and the
removed metatarsophalangeal joint is inserted into the defect
of the recipient site. The metacarpophalangeal joint is xed
at the exion position of 20°–30° by using Kirschner wire or
cross steel wire. In order to improve the exion of the reconstructed metacarpophalangeal joint, the metatarsophalangeal
joint can be rotated 180° along the longitudinal axis, or the
broken end of the metatarsal bone can be exed dorsally, and
the metatarsal side of the metatarsal bone is made rough surface and relatively xed with the metacarpal bone. But when
the metacarpal defect is larger, the second method cannot be
used, because it can cause the wrong metacarpophalangeal
joint position. If the dorsal hand defect is repaired with dorsal foot skin ap, the metatarsophalangeal joint cannot be
rotated, only the second method can be used. If the metacarpal defect is large and the second method is not available, the
treatment method is: (1) When the dorsal hand defect is
small, carried plantar skin ap for repair, so that the plantar
toe joint rotates 180° and the skin ap is just on the dorsal
side to repair the dorsal hand defect; (2) When the dorsal
hand defect is large, the dorsal foot ap is designed on the
proximal end when metatarsophalangeal joint is cut, so that
the skin ap is separated from the joint, which is a series
graft, so that after the joint rotated, the ap is still on the
dorsal side. If tendons of hand are injuried, can be repaired
by toe tendons carried with them.
Reconstruction of blood circulation: In order to prevent
blood vessel compression after rotation of joint graft to the
recipient site, the contralateral foot should be selected for the
graft: (1) If the artery is anastomosed with radial artery, dorsalis pedis artery, great saphenous vein and deep peroneal
nerve are led into snuffbox incision through the subcutaneous tunnel. Pay attention to that the vessels in the tunnel
should not be twisted or compressed, and the layers are arteries, veins, and nerves in turn. The tension of the blood vessels should be adjusted, and the nerves and vasculars should
be nely anastomosed under the microscope; (2) If it is anastomosed with common palmar digital artery, after joint rotation, the artery is on the dorsal side and the vein is on the
palmar side. The blood vessels should be extracted through
metacarpal space, and attention should be paid to avoid pressure and distortion of the blood vessels. The tension of the
blood vessels should be adjusted, and the nerves and vasculars should be nely anastomosed under the microscope.
Postoperative treatment: (1) Blood circulation should
be observed according to the requirements of tissue transplantation; (2) Routine microsurgery treatment; (3) Gypsum
support should be xed for 6–7 weeks, and passive functional exercise should be begun after Kirschner wire is
removed. (4) Tendonolysis should be performed when
necessary.
Announcements
The following points should be noted in clinic: (1) Pay attention to the xed position of the graft joint to prevent rotation
and angulation deformity; (2) If the ap is carried at the same
time for transplantation, the position and size of the ap
should be designed to prevent the rotation deformity of the
graft joint caused by the wrong position of the ap and the
blood circulation crisis of the transplanted tissue caused by
the small ap; (3) Preoperative surgery should be carefully
designed, and the vascular conditions in the recipient site and
donor site should be carefully detected with Doppler, and the
blood circulation reconstruction method should be designed
according to the vascular conditions. (4) Metatarsophalangeal
joint transplantation in children, the epiphysis should be
included in to avoid damage, so as not to affect joint development; (5) Note that the diseased bone in the recipient site
should be completely removed, otherwise bone nonunion is
easy to occur after transplantation. (6) Vascular branches are
ligated thoroughly to prevent postoperative bleeding and
form hematoma to compress blood vessels.

2.6.4 Metacarpophalangeal/Interphalangeal
Joint Reconstruction by Proximal
Interphalangeal Joint Transplantation
ofSecond andThird Toe
Applied Anatomy
The Structure ofJoints
The proximal interphalangeal joint is a trochlear joint composed of the proximal phalangeal trochlea and the base of the
middle phalangeal bone. The junction between the upper
one-third and the lower two-thirds is separated by a transverse bulge, with the upper one-third facing forward up and
the lower two-thirds facing forward down. When the joint is
at rest, the articular surface of the phalangeal base is in contact with the lower two-thirds of the articular surface of the
trochlea, showing a micro-exion state. The dorsal side of
the joint capsule is weak, with extensor digitorum tendon
apparatus strengthened, and the lateral collateral ligaments
strengthen on both sides. The attachment of the plantar plate
is the same as that of metatarsophalangeal joint. The joint
can be exed and extended (exion 80°, extension 0°).
Blood Supply ofJoints
Arteries: They are the joint cystic, condylar and epiphyseal
branches from dorsal and plantar digitorum arteries, and
their distribution is similar to metatarsophalangeal joints.
Each branch enters the joint within a range of 1–4mm around
the joint capsule.
Veins: Mainly are dorsal digitorum veins.
Nerves ofJoints
They are dorsal digitorum nerves and proper plantar digitorum nerves, mainly are proper plantar digitorum nerves.
There are about eight to nine articular branches.
Surgical Methods
The surgery is divided into two groups at the same time. One
group dissociates the blood vessels, nerves and tendons in
the recipient site, and removed the injured interphalangeal
joint to prepare for interphalangeal joint of foot transplantation. Another group dissociates interphalangeal joints of
foot.
Cut off the Diseased Interphalangeal Joint: The tourniquet is applied to the proximal arm with a pressure of 40kPa
(300mmHg). An “S” shaped incision is made on the dorsal
side of metacarpophalangeal joint to expose extensor digitorum tendon. To determine whether to retain, if retained, the
base of middle phalanx should be osteotomy in a stepped
manner, and the dorsal portion of middle phalanx should be
retained to ensure that the insertion point of extensor digitorum tendon on it is not damaged. Osteotomy is performed in
the middle of proximal phalanx, the damaged palmar plate is
removed, and the periarticular tissue is cut off around the
joint capsule, and the proximal interphalanx joint is amputated. After arthroplasty, bone of metacarpal and phalanx
stump should be normal, without sclerosis of bone stump
and stenosis of medullary cavity, so as to avoid bone nonunion after joint transplantation.
Dissociate the vasculars and nerves of the recipient
site: There are two ways to do it: (1) Blood is supplied by
palmar common artery and dorsal palmar vein returns.
Dorsal palmar vein and dorsal cutaneous nerve of hand can
be dissociated in the incision for reserve. Cut the skin and
palmar aponeurosis along proximal palmar print or thenar
print on the palmar side, dissociate common palmar digital
artery and nerve between exor digitorum tendons to the
normal part for use. (2) The proper palmar artery is used to
supply blood, and the proper palmar artery and nerve are dissociated on the lateral side of nger pulp, and dissociated
2–3cm for use. The dorsal digital vein is dissociated on the
dorsal side of the nger, and dissociated 2–3cm for use, to
the normal part of the structure and dynamic force. Release
the tourniquet to observe blood supply. In case of defect of
skin and tendon in the recipient site.
Dissociate interphalangeal joint: Elevate the extremities
without exsanguination and apply a tourniquet to the upper
thigh at 80kPa (600mmHg) pressure. A “S” shaped incision
is made on the dorsal side of interphalangeal joint, with a
length of about 10cm. Dissociate dorsal metatarsal vein or
dorsal digitorum vein to interphalangeal joint, dissociate the
proximal end of the vein according to the required length of
the recipient site, then cut open deep fascia, dissociate rst
dorsal metatarsal artery, and dissociate interphalangeal joint
just like the way dissociating metatarsophalangeal joint. In
most cases, only the proper plantar digitorum artery needs to
be dissociated, and proper plantar digitorum artery and nerve
should be dissociated on the tibial side of the plantar side of
the toe, proximal to toe web, and distal to distal interphalangeal joint, and then cut and ligated. Dissociate the joint along
the joint capsule and pay attention to not damage the peroneal blood vessels, to ensure the blood supply of the distal
toe. The interphalangeal joint is truncated with a bone knife
or electric saw according to the length of the defect of the
recipient site. Release the tourniquet to observe blood supply. In case of a defect of skin and tendon in the recipient
site, skin and tendon grafts can be carried simultaneously.
Joint transplantation: After the preparation of the recipient site, the blood vessels in the donor site are cut off and the
removed metatarsophalangeal joint is inserted into the defect
