Aesthetic refinements in 2nd toe-to-thumb transfer
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective The hand is a body part which is constantly in view thus the second toe-to-thumb transfer needs to be aesthetically pleasing. Our study measures the absolute values of second toes, big toes, thumbs and their nails with regards to their width, length and circumference and analyses the ratios of between these relative values. With this anatomical data we intend to discover a way to enhance a more aesthetic second toe-to-thumb transfer surgery.

On occasions, injury to the rest of the hand or amputation of additional fingers may make pollicisation an impossible option. Microsurgical transfer of second toe is an option in such situa...
متن کاملReconstruction of the thumb by microvascular transfer of the great toe. A case report.
