This is the first case in Vietnam to be treated for thumb injuries both functionally and aesthetically.
According to Prof. Dr. Son, previously, the treatment method for these injuries was simply shortening the finger by closing the stump and there was no nail. With the new technique, doctors used a flap of skin including part of the nail and the thumb pad, along with a feeding blood vessel and transferred it to the damaged part of the thumb.
The success of this case opens up a conservation treatment for thumb injuries because this finger plays an important role in the function of the hand, while ensuring the highest aesthetics is to restore the original shape of the finger.
