Abstract
1. A small series of fourteen pollicisations has been studied. 2. The keyword, so far as the operation is concerned, has been simplicity. 3. It has been appreciated that a transposed finger can never become a thumb, and it may not be wise to strive too har1d by means of transplants to emulate the perfection of the normal thumb, especially if this is done at the expense of one of the fundamental priorities. 4. Nevertheless, if sensibility, good position and proximal stability are achieved, pollicisation can provide a useful addition to hand function and a reasonably satisfactory appearance.
