[Toe transfers in traumatic mutilations of the hand in children. Solutions, techniques and results]

Severe mutilating injuries of the hand are rarely encountered in children. Among the reconstruction techniques, partial and total toe transfers are to be considered because these techniques fulfill the growth requirements and because good sensory results can be expected in children. A clinical series of partial or total toe transfers, performed for correction of post traumatic mutilations is presented. Clinical results and technical refinements are discussed.
