S. Spokevicius et D. Radzevicius, LATE TOE-TO-HAND TRANSFER FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CONGENITAL-DEFECTS OF THE LONG FINGERS, Scandinavian journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery and hand surgery, 31(4), 1997, pp. 345-350
Toe-to-hand transfer is a well established procedure and is one of the
best ways of reconstructing the missing fingers or parts of fingers.
In congenital deformities of fingers and hands such as absence of digi
ts, second toe transfer may create the grip function and is superior t
o all other procedures. We present three cases of four second toe tran
sfer to reconstruct long finger defects after congenital malformations
of the long fingers. The aim of this paper is to discuss some aspects
of the procedure and to evaluate achieved results. All our four patie
nts were operated on when they were over 10 years of age.
