    Abstract:
    Transplantation of the second toe to replace a finger has been suggested more recently than has transplantation of the great toe to replace the thumb. The technique is described in detail. There is no plantar skin incision in the foot. The arterial suture is made at the level of the digital artery. Two toes can be transplanted when several fingers are missing. 11 cases have been operated on and the results analysed. In all cases, pinch grip between the thumb and the transplanted finger was made possible.
