Abstract:
Free vascularized toe pulp transfer to the thumb is a technique to restore sensibility and durable soft tissue coverage to the thumb. This article reviews alternative techniques for coverage; the neurovascular anatomy of the great toe; and the technique of microvascular toe pulp transfer. Although the procedure is technically demanding, it provides excellent coverage with minimal donor morbidity.
