The use of homodigital dorsal neurofascial broaden pedicle island flaps (HDNBPIF) to treat fingertip amputations is an ongoing research topic. Here, we evaluated the clinical effects of resurfacing fingertip amputations in long fingers using HDNBPIF. Seventeen patients with 18 long fingers were treated with HDNBPIF from December 2018 to May 2021. Total active motion (TAM) scores, Semmes Weinstein monofilament (SWM) test, static 2PD test, visual analogue scale (VAS), Vancouver scar scales (VSS), and quick DASH scores were evaluated at 12–25 months postoperation. The aesthetic satisfaction of the patients was estimated subjectively using a 5-point Likert scale. The mean defect size was 1.11 × 1.13 cm and mean flap size was 1.32 × 1.32 cm. All flaps survived and the mean TAM of injured fingers was 255.6° (Contralateral side: 268.4°, p < 0.05). Mean SWM score in the flap was 3.90 g, and 3.22 g in the donor zone. Mean static 2PD discrimination in the flap was 5.61 mm and 4.33 mm in the donor zone. Mean quick Dash scores were 5.81 whereas Mean VAS score in the flap was 0.7 and 0.2 in the donor site. Vancouver scar scales at the donor and recipient sites ranged from 0 to 2. At the end of the follow-up, all patients reported good aesthetic appearance and curative effects. These results show that HDNBPIF is a promising strategy that achieves good curative effects and recovery of fingertip functions.
