Sensation in cross-finger flaps.
Cross-finger flaps in fifty-one patients were examined one to six years postoperatively, with particular reference to two-point discrimination. Patients less than twenty years old have the best chance of achieving good sensation. Two-point discrimination seems to reach its maximum within one year after the operation.
