title: Early complications in second toe to hand transplantation-the occurrences and preventive measures.
abstract: The operative experience of twenty cases of second toe to hand transplantations was discussed. Although there was only one total failure, there were frequent complications. The factors leading to the high rate of complications (just over 1/3 of cases) were analysed. A treatment scheme, which took into consideration a large number of precautions and preventive measures against early complications was carefully outlined.
