Abstract

Ten double toe transfers for mutilating hand injuries have been studied. In two patients with total loss of all digits, pincer pinch was restored by the transfer of two separate toes, one to each side of the stump. Seven patients had survival of the thumb and a three-point chuck pinch was provided by transfer of a second toe plus a wrap-around flap over a bone graft to create a third, but stiff digit. One patient required three fingers and was treated by one single toe transfer and one double toe transfer.
