  • Title: Thumb reconstruction in the severely damaged hand using finger remnants.
    Author: Dijkstra R.
    Journal: Neth J Surg; 1989 Feb; 41(1):11-4. PubMed ID: 2927698.
    Abstract:
    In severely injured hands with loss of the thumb and irreparable damage to one or more fingers, the thumb can often be reconstructed by transfer of a comparatively useless finger remnant. Sometimes this reconstruction can be performed at the time of primary treatment, but generally this is done as a secondary procedure. Seven patients were treated and considerable functional improvement was obtained in all instances.
