Index Finger Pollicization for Hypoplasia of the Thumb

Abstract

Pollicization of the index finger has been the subject of several publications; it occupies an interesting place in the restoration of the handgrip. Although it is still suffering from some technical insufficiencies, we were able to achieve a pollicization of the index finger on a 54 years old woman. The results were very satisfactory. We report in this work the surgical technique used, with an update on the various existing techniques.
