Title: Primary Thumb Reconstruction in a Mutilated Hand. Author: Del Piñal F, Pennazzato D, Urrutia E. Journal: Hand Clin; 2016 Nov; 32(4):519-531. PubMed ID: 27712752. Abstract: The thumb should be preserved at all costs, and major efforts to preserve it are justified.

This article will not only discuss some tips to succeed in extreme acute scenarios, but will also consider the indications of other alternatives in the acute or subacute setting.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
