The Hand
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
A case of thumb amputation at the interphalangeal joint and reconstruction by gradual lengthening of the proximal phalanx is described. As a result of the treatment the amputation stump was lengthened 2cms which means a 70 per cent increase of the original length of the proximal phalanx. The quality of sensibility of the stump has been preserved.
