    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Toe-to-finger transfers are a viable option in reconstructive hand surgery, with most patients satisfied with the results. Great toe-to-thumb transfers were found to be superior to second toe-to-thumb procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Microsurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Accidental amputations and congenital defects can necessitate complex reconstructive procedures.
    • Toe-to-finger transfer is a specialized technique in limb reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction of toe-to-finger transfers in hand reconstruction.
    • To compare the outcomes of great toe-to-thumb versus second toe-to-thumb transfers.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 10 toe-to-finger transfer cases (9 accidental amputations, 1 congenital defect).
    • Analysis of surgical outcomes, including complications and patient satisfaction.
    • Comparison of great toe-to-thumb transfers with second toe-to-thumb transfers.

    Main Results:

    • Seven out of nine patients would undergo the procedure again.
    • One case resulted in secondary amputation due to arterial thrombosis.
    • Great toe-to-thumb transfers were deemed superior to second toe-to-thumb transfers by the authors.

    Conclusions:

    • Toe-to-finger transfer is a useful method in reconstructive hand surgery.
    • Patient satisfaction is generally high, despite potential complications.
    • Great toe-to-thumb transfers may offer better outcomes compared to second toe-to-thumb transfers.
