Pinch reconstruction by hand to hand finger transfer associated with hallux transfer after a severe frostbite injury.
We report a case of severe frostbite in which a pincer hand was created by microsurgical transfer of a partially amputated small finger from the opposite hand combined with microsurgical transfer of a partially amputated great toe which was subsequently lengthened.
