Results of Vascularized Joint Transfers from the Foot

From Service "Assistance-Mains", Hôpital Jeanne d’Arc, Dommartin-les-Toul, France

Correspondence: Dr G. Dautel, Service "Assistance-Mains". Hôpilal Jeanne d’Arc, BP 303, 54201, TOUL-Cédex, France.

We report our results in ten cases of vascularized joint transfer to reconstruct the proximal interphalangeal joint (five cases) or metacarpophalangeal joints (five cases). Donor sites were the proximal interphalangeal or the metatarsophalangeal joints of the second toe. Indications for surgery were the need to reconstruct both the growth plate and joint space in children or the impossibility of a conventional prosthetic implant. The average range of motion was 44° for the PIP joint and 53° for the MP joint at a mean follow-up of 22.7 months.
