At final follow-up, the investigators measured the sensibility of the thumb pulps and the donor sites using the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test and static 2-point discrimination (2PD) test. The test points were at the centers of the radial and ulnar portions of the thumb pulp and the donor sites separately. Each area was tested 3 times with a Dellon-Mackinnon discriminator. Two out of 3 correct answers were considered proof of perception before proceeding to another lower value.
