Abstract

Reconstruction of all four fingers that were amputated at the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints of the right hand of a 17-year-old male patient was performed by simultaneous transfer of the combined second and third toes from each foot at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Fifteen-month follow-up showed acceptable cosmesis with satisfactory functional results. The patient had no foot discomfort, even after prolonged walking and running.
