title: Digital ray transposition for correction of late-stage post toe-to-hand transfer forefoot deformity.
abstract: A patient with a painful, severe crossover third toe presented approximately 30 years after a second toe-to-hand transfer. He was successfully treated with multiple digital ray transposition. This procedure can realign the lesser toe, close the toe web, and eliminate the need for lifelong use of a toe filler.
