N2 - From 1982-1989, 152 mutilated distal digits were reconstructed with microsurgical foot tissue transfers in 121 patients. These various foot tissues included wrap-around flaps or pulp from the great toe, second toe, or third toe, as well as partial toe, nail, web space skin, and other portions of the foot. The reconstructions were carried out primarily and secondarily in 78 and 74 patients respectively. The immediate success rate was 98%. Most of the patients were satisfied with both the cosmetic appearance and the functional result. This relatively minor microsurgical foot tissue transfer proved to be an ideal reconstructive option for distal digital defects.
