    Author: Rinaldi E.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1976 Dec; 2(3):335-9. PubMed ID: 1031411.
    Abstract:
    In the hand severe trauma and tumours are the most frequent causes of loss of bone substance in the metacarpals. To save the function of the complete digital ray repair by bone grafting is essential. A technique is described for transferring all or part of a metatarsal bone as a hemiarticular graft for substituting metacarpal bone loss.
