Total Thumb Reconstruction by an Index Finger TranspositionFrom Kanto Rosai Hospital, Kawasaki, Japan
A case of total thumb reconstruction after traumatic amputation is described. The reconstruction was carried out as a staged procedure with preliminary application of a pedicle flap, and a normal index finger transposition, followed by opposition transfer using the abductor digiti quinti muscle. Twenty-seven months after the index finger poilicization, the reconstructed thumb had satisfactory function.
