title: [First aid for the thumb-amputated hand with reference to a primary or secondary pollicization].
abstract: The importance of considering the possibility of later thumb replacement during the primary treatment of the injured thumbless hand is pointed out. Even a functionless long finger or a part of it which can be later used for a thumb reconstruction should be retained, as in such a hand its loss may be otherwise irreplaceable. The rare indication for primary thumb replacement is also demonstrated.
