Where this comes from

Abstract

In the mutilated hand microsurgical toe-to-hand transplantation provides thumb and finger reconstruction that is superior to conventional techniques in appearance and function. Hand reconstruction using toe transplantation should be individually planned and carefully executed to obtain optimal results and minimal disability in the donor foot.
