Ten hands with multiple traumatic finger amputations or congenital agenesis underwent reconstruction by monoblock transfer of multiple toes. Eight patients underwent monoblock transfer of the great and second toes, one patient received the great toe and the metatarsophalangeal joint from the second toe with the same vascular pedicle, and another patient the great, second and third toes as a block. Only part of the great toe was ever taken, while the second toe was totally or partially taken. The surgical technique and the outcome are detailed in this work, with a mean postoperative follow-up of 6 years.

Key Words: monoblock transfer • toe-to-hand transfer • multiple monoblock transfer • digital reconstruction
