Twelve patients underwent reconstruction of injured finger joints using our technique of a vascularized transfer of the second toe proximal interphalangeal joint. The age of the patients at operation ranged from 7 to 47 years and the postoperative follow-up was 9 to 48 months. All the joint transfers survived and united with resolution of the preoperative joint pain, deformity and instability. The average range of motion of the reconstructed joints was 59° in the proximal interphalangeal and 54° in the metacarpophalangeal joints. No patient complained of pain or functional deficits in the donor foot.
