This letter is a response to an article about the long-term patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of fingertip coverage using a neurovascular island flap. The authors of the letter introduce the Fingertip Injury Outcome Score (FIOS), a method to assess the outcome of fingertip injuries based on objective and patient-based subjective measurements. The FIOS considers various factors such as finger length, bone consolidation, pulp pad, nail aesthetics, sensation, range of motion, grip strength, and return to work. The authors recommend using FIOS as a valid and consistent outcome measure for all fingertip injuries. The original authors of the article thank the authors of the letter for introducing FIOS and discuss the value of their own self-assessment approach in revealing disparities between objective and subjective outcomes in fingertip injuries. They also mention that the unipedicle homodigital neurovascular island flap is a safe method for fingertip reconstruction with satisfactory outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
