Isolated second toe transfer after total amputation of the left fifth finger in a professional guitar player

摘要

Unlike the Loss of the thumb, which causes a 40% to 50% Loss of gLobaL hand function, single finger amputations produce much less functional impairment for most patients. Single finger reconstruction with toe transplantation has therefore not gained wide acceptance. In select patients, however, particularly those with higher manual functional demands because of their occupations, single finger reconstruction can usually offer satisfactory results. The livelihood of some individuals depends on a full set of accurately positioned functional finger pulps and nails, particularly guitar players.
