Microsurgical free partial toe transfer in hand reconstruction: a report of 12 cases

G Foucher et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1980 May.

Abstract

The foot is an invaluable bank of spare parts available for reconstructing the mutilated hand. The dorsalis pedis flap, the extensor digitorum brevis muscle, and the first and second toes can now be used as free transfers. We believe that partial toe transfers, including either sensitive cutaneous flaps or composite tissue, are also extremely useful in properly selected patients.
