Microsurgical thumb repair and reconstruction.
Journal of Hand Surgery, European Volume 2017 October
In this article, we review microsurgical reconstructive techniques available to treat thumb amputation at different levels based on our experience. We reference techniques used by other surgeons and identify the most suitable technique for different clinical situations. Indications and techniques for microsurgical partial or composite transfer of the great or second toe for thumb reconstruction are summarized. Different microsurgical transfer techniques suggest a great freedom of surgical choices. However, the choices are considerably restricted if all functional and cosmetic requirements are to be met. We recommend individualized surgical design and reconstruction because each case of thumb amputation is unique.
