Abstract
Background: Complex injuries of the hand frequently result in loss of essential functional features. Common reconstructive procedures for soft tissue defects of the thumb or phalanges are locoregional flaps like Moberg-, Foucher-, Cross-Finger- or Littler flaps. Microneurovascular toe (joint-) transfers complete the arsenal of operative reconstructive procedures and allow for most detailed reconstructions. Our experiences with free toe transplants are reported and diversely discussed regarding contending procedures.
Methods: From 2010 until 2019 14 patients who received emergency or elective partial or complete toe transfers were compared with a control group (n = 12) treated with contending reconstructive procedures. Aim of the reconstructions was to cover the defect with well-vascularized, sensate tissue, while preserving length and range of motion in a reliable manner.
Results: The Kapandji score showed a significant difference (p- value = 0.04) with a score of 9.8 in comparison to control group (Kapandji index = 8.0).
Conclusion: In our heterogenic patient collective free toe transplants have proven to achieve comparable functional results for reconstruction of two and tripartite phalanxes as opposed to common local reconstructive procedures.
