[The value of pollicization in the reconstruction of thumb injuries in adults. Observations apropos of 15 cases].
Pollicisation remains a good solution to restore the function of the adult thumb after injury. This technique requires a good knowledge of plastic hand surgery to perform an emergency or secondary reconstruction, sparing the functional integrity and enhancing the value of the stumps. The authors report their own experience of 15 cases treated between 1985-1990.
