Further Developments in the Twisted-Toe Technique for Isolated Thumb Reconstruction: Our Method of Choice
Original language description
Background: Posttraumatic loss of the thumb is devastating. Toe-to-hand transfer is considered the criterion standard of reconstruction but is associated with donor-site issues. The twisted-toe technique uses parts from the great toe and the second toe,which allows for almost anatomical restoration of the donor foot. The authors present their experience and technical modifications of this method. Methods: Between January of 2003 and November of 2011, 18 patients suffering from loss of thumb because ofa variety of indications were treated with the authors' modification of the twisted-toe technique. The neothumb was constructed with a partial onychocutaneous flap from the great toe and an osseotendinous flap from the second toe. Results: Of 18 transplanted twisted-toe flaps, 17 survived completely (5.6 percent flap loss rate). Similarity of the reconstructed thumb compared with the healthy side was very acceptable in all cases.
