Abstract
Toe-to-hand transfer is indicated for many types of congenital and traumatic thumb absences. This review will highlight the applications of toe-to-hand transfer and their functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial outcomes. Despite its technical complexity, toe to hand reconstruction techniques can provide an elegant option to restore function for patients with difficult hand disabilities.
