Two-stage reconstruction of four-digit amputation: distal ulnar artery flap and combined second- and third-toe transfer.
We report a case of combined two toe transfer after distal ulnar artery fasciocutaneous flap in a 10-year-old boy who has four-digit amputation. Four years after the operation, satisfactory results were obtained both functionally and cosmetically.
