Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the reconstruction of partial defects at the end of the thumbs and other fingers with microsurgical free toe flaps.
METHODS21 partial defects (19 cases) at the end of thumbs and other fingers were reconstructed with microsurgical free toe flaps taking from the corresponding toe part.
