Toe-to-finger transfer combined with wrap-around flap: a new technique for four-finger amputation

A surgical technique for reconstruction of four-finger amputation, toe-to-finger transfer combined with wrap-around flap procedure, is described. Opposable ulnar fingers, reconstructed using the second and third toe, provide sufficient grip function. The long finger, reconstructed with the wrap-around flap using the lateral aspect of the great toe, provides pinch function. Improving the hand function is worthwhile despite morbidity from losing two toes.
