Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate an ideal method for finger reconstruction with extended the second toe flap transfer.
METHODSThe second toe free flap was created, combined with an pedicled skin flap from the fibular side of the great toe inlaid in the ventral side of the second toe, a double-wing flap and the distal part of the metatarsal bone. The composite free flap was transferred by vascular anastomosis for finger reconstruction.
RESULTSThe reconstructed finger exhibited nice looking and better function. The procedure had little influence to the appearance and function of the donor foot.
CONCLUSIONThis method is effective in ameliorating the appearance and function of the reconstructed finger with the second toe transfer.
