Partial second toe transfer effectively reconstructs fingertip defects, restoring appearance and function. This method achieves excellent aesthetic results with good sensation and pinch strength, making it ideal for hand appearance restoration.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Fingertip defects significantly impact hand aesthetics and function.
  • Evaluating the clinical efficacy of partial second toe transfer for aesthetic fingertip reconstruction.

Observation:

  • 17 patients underwent fingertip reconstruction using partial second toe transfer.
  • Microsurgical techniques involved arterial and venous anastomosis for vascular supply and digital nerve suturing for sensation restoration.

Findings:

  • Complete survival of all reconstructed fingers was achieved.
  • Reconstructed fingertips exhibited satisfactory appearance, with two-point discrimination of 7.8 mm and 90% of normal pinch strength.
  • Donor sites healed without complications.
