    Area of Science:

    • Microsurgery
    • Hand and upper extremity reconstruction
    • Plastic surgery

    Background:

    • Thumb reconstruction is crucial for hand function.
    • Microsurgical toe transfer is an established reconstructive option.
    • Comparing risks of different thumb reconstruction methods is important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of microsurgical toe transfer for thumb reconstruction.
    • To compare the risk factors of microsurgical toe transfer with other elective thumb reconstruction techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Microsurgical transfer of a toe to the thumb.
    • Replantation of the thumb immediately after injury.

    Main Results:

    • Microsurgical toe transfer provides a viable option for thumb reconstruction.
