title: Thumb reconstruction with toe transfer.
abstract: Microsurgical toe transfer has become a gold standard option for amputated thumb reconstruction. It can be used to correct almost any thumb defect. However, for optimal functional and esthetic results, proper initial care, preoperative planning, proper selection of suitable techniques, adjunct or secondary procedures and proper, postoperative rehabilitation are important.
