This technique can be performed in the acute phase or as a secondary procedure. A conventional on-top-plasty can be performed by transfer of a partially amputated index or ring finger to the ''top'' of the proximal phalanx of an amputated middle finger. Alternatively, the transferred part may be used in an intercalated fashion to reconstruct the middle phalanx, using a prosthesis to reconstruct the proximal interphalangeal joint. The results, complications and disadvantages of the technique are reported. We propose this procedure for the reconstruction of the middle ring finger when a free microneurovascular toe-to-hand transfer is contraindicated or refused by the patient.
