N2 - The loss of function of the metacarpophalangeal joint is a significant disability. Simultaneous reconstruction of the soft tissue, extensor mechanism, joint, and flexor tendon in a complex hand injury is difficult and challenging. Free vascularized autogenous toe joint transplantation is a useful technique that provides not only joint replacement but also the soft tissue, extensor mechanism, and flexor tendon in more severe complex hand injuries. Two patients underwent immediate, free vascularized metatarsophalangeal joint transfer of the second toe to replace the long and ring finger metacarpophalangeal joint in acute complex hand injuries. The follow-up results at 16 months and 8 months postoperatively are presented.
