Abstract
Objective To explore the methods of correcting malformation of reconstructed fingers in toe-to-hand transfer. Methods In a series of 77 reconstructed fingers in 65 cases of second toe-to-hand transfer since 2002,deformities of finger pulp,shaft or fingernail were present. Plastic interventions included inserting local fasciocutaneous flap and adjusting the bone and tendon of the reconstructed fingers with microsurgical techniques. Results The deformities were corrected and outward appearance was improved. Function of the fingers was improved while the sensation was not compromised. Conclusion Plastic intervention using microsurgical techniques to correct malformation of finger pulp,body and fingernail can improve the appearance and function of reconstructed fingers.
