Abstract:
In the mutilated hand where all the fingers are destroyed, the undamaged mobile thumb will not be capable of performing the important function of making a grip or pinch alone. Under such circumstances, it is worthwhile reconstructing the missing fingers so as to restore this simple but basic function.
