Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Finger injuries often require complex reconstructive solutions.
  • Toe-to-hand transplantation is a viable option for restoring digital defects.

Observation:

  • A novel technique involving a composite second toe free flap was developed.
  • This flap incorporated a pedicled skin flap, double-wing flap, and metatarsal bone segment.

Findings:

  • The composite flap transfer resulted in aesthetically pleasing and functionally improved reconstructed fingers.
  • The donor foot maintained good appearance and function post-procedure.

Implications:

  • This refined second toe flap transfer technique offers a promising solution for finger reconstruction.
