Importance of preserving redundant pulp skin in thumb terminalization to allow subsequent reconstruction with on-top toe transfer: A clinical case (with video).
Abstract
Traumatic thumb amputations can seriously jeopardise hand function. Several alternatives for reconstructing an opposable thumb have been described, including distraction osteogenesis, index finger pollicisation and free toe transfer. We present in this article the case of a young male patient that sustained a circular saw injury to his non-dominant thumb which resulted in loss of his distal phalanx. Preserving the sensate pulp allowed later reconstruction with an on-top free second toe transfer achieving a satisfactory outcome.
