AB  - Syndactyly is one of the most common congenital malformations of the hand. A reconstructive
surgery would be needed to separate the digital skin, reconstruct the web space between fingers,
and cover the separated digits with soft tissues. It is important to find the optimal shape and size
for a dorsal flap in the web commissure reconstruction. In the current study, the effect of size of
the rectangular dorsal flap for different ages has been explored numerically. It has been
determined that the smaller size of the dorsal flap for the older, the stress is higher; the larger
size for the young, the stress is lower. The results could be used for the hand surgeons and
patients on the decision making of the size of the dorsal flap. An application software has been
developed to connect input factors including the size of rectangular dorsal flaps and the age of
patients with the resulting stress and strain distributions. This work sheds light on potential
future clinical trials to improve the procedures.
