We performed finger reconstruction by the toe-to-finger transfer on 15 cases. 6 cases were reconstructed for small finger amputation.
We utilized a third toe-to-finger transfer for the reconstruction.
Informed consent is an important fector.
8 case were finger reconstruction for the multiple digits (more than 3 digits), for which we have used a II toe-to-finger transfers were used.
5 of these cases had undergone amputation at the metacarpal level.
The total active motion of these 5 cases was 40° on average.
As for the full range of motion of the thumb, all 5 cases were able to pinch well.
Improved finger function was seen, but prostheses is required for ehhancement of cosmesls.
