Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes of Graft Reposition on Flap (GRF) in Allen Type IV Fingertip Amputations: A Clinical Study

Abstract

Background: Allen type IV fingertip amputations are among the most complex hand injuries, often requiring replantation for optimal functional and sensory and cosmetic recovery. In circumstances where replantation is not feasible, graft reposition on flap (GRF) serves as a practical approach that combines repositioning of the amputated distal phalanx and nail bed with vascularized flap coverage
