J HAND SURG BR , 2002, vol. 27, n° 3, p. 219-223 Doc n°: 106423 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : EB2 - AMPUTATION DU MEMBRE SUPERIEUR, DD861 - TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL - MAIN-DOIGTS From 1995 to 2000, five microvascular toe-to-hand transfers were performed in three children who were simultaneously undergoing lower extremity amputations. Their ages at time of transfer ranged from 4 to 10 years and the types of lower extremity amputation included toe amputation, foot amputation and through-knee amputation. The resulting toe-to-hand transfers included three great toe-to-thumb transfers and one combined great and second toe-to-hand transfer. The toe-to-hand transfers were all successful and all the lower extremity amputations healed without complications. In all cases, improved hand function and lower extremity function was noted by the families. These unique cases represent the ultimate use of spare parts in congenital hand surgery.
