Toe transfer to the vessels of the reversed forearm flap.
A 23-year-old man had a severe degloving injury of his hand, amputation of multiple fingers, and devascularization of the thumb. Primary care consisted of successful revascularization of the thumb and skin grafting of the hand. Secondary soft tissue reconstruction of the hand was done with a reverse forearm flap. This was followed by second-toe transfer to the hand, with the recipient vessels, the radial artery, and the venae comitantes of the reverse forearm flap.
