    Area of Science:

    • Microsurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Toe-to-hand transfer is a reconstructive option for severe hand injuries.
    • Microvascular techniques enable successful digit replantation and reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of toe-to-hand transfer in patients with hand deformities.
    • To assess functional and aesthetic outcomes following microvascular toe grafting.

    Main Methods:

    • Microvascular toe-to-hand transfer was performed in 28 patients (33 fingers).
    • Grafts utilized the great toe (1), second toe (30), and third toe (2).
    • Patients had either traumatic injuries (26) or congenital deformities (2).

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • All 33 toe-to-hand transfers were successful.
    • Good sensory recovery was observed in all patients.
    • Significant improvements in hand function and cosmetic appearance were achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Toe-to-hand transfer is a reliable and effective procedure for hand reconstruction.
    • The technique yields satisfactory aesthetic and functional results, even for single-digit amputations.
    • Indications include metacarpal hand amputation and thumb or multiple finger amputations.
