Toe to hand transfer.
Nine patients received a toe-to-finger transfer after accidental amputation and one after a congenital defect. One led to secondary amputation due to arterial thrombosis. Seven of the 9 patients would have the operation again if needed. Five transplants were great toe-to-thumb transfers which the authors feel superior to second toe to thumb transplantations. The method seems to be useful in reconstructive hand surgery.
