Perifascial areolar tissue grafting for treating syndactyly with bone fusion in patients with Apert syndrome

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Complete syndactyly with bone fusion in patients with Apert syndrome was treated using perifascial areolar tissue (PAT) grafts via a two-stage surgery (i.e. bone separation using inter-bone PAT graft insertion followed by web separation and reconstruction with full-thickness skin grafts). This technique is easy and created nail folds for fingertips.
