  • Title: Thumb and digit reconstruction: toe-to-hand microvascular composite tissue transplantation.
    Author: Finseth F, Buncke HJ.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1981; 66(1):13-8. PubMed ID: 7251268.
    Abstract:
    Methods of finger reconstruction using a free toe transplantation are described. The thumb, and in some particular cases also the index finger, can be successfully replaced by toes using microsurgical techniques for vascular and nervous anastomosis. Functional results are quite satisfactory and allow the patient to recover complete use of the hand.
