  • Title: Reconstruction of the thumb by free skin flap of the big toe.
    Author: Yu ZJ, Ho HG, Tang CH.
    Journal: J Reconstr Microsurg; 1984 Oct; 1(2):155-9. PubMed ID: 6544352.
    Abstract:
    Experience with 12 cases of thumb reconstruction is reported, utilizing a free skin flap from the big toe and remodelled iliac bone graft, to create metacarpal and phalangeal configuration. Results show that the reconstructed thumbs have good functional recovery, cosmetic appearance, and varying degrees of sensation. The procedure preserves the big toe of the donor foot and produces minimal impairment.
