Abstract
The thumb should be preserved at all costs, and major efforts to preserve it are justified. If nothing can be done (or desperate measures fail), classic procedures or a toe-to-hand are indicated. This article will not only discuss some tips to succeed in extreme acute scenarios, but will also consider the indications of other alternatives in the acute or subacute setting.
