[Composite digital allotransplants: surgical technique and different applications].
Microsurgery and human allotransplantation progress as well as the improvement of immunosuppressive drugs actually allow the development of the composite tissue allotransplantation. One of the latest challenges in plastic surgery is to restore the anatomic and functional structures using similar tissues. Composite tissue allotransplantation will probably reach this goal. Our work is to find new surgical techniques for the reconstruction of the osteotendinous apparatus of the long digits. In this paper, we will demonstrate the surgical technique to harvest the allotransplant and its modulation in the reconstruction of various digital defects.
