| Description | The thumb is a very important functional as well as aesthetic component of the hand. Its loss may not only lead to mental deprivation, particularly among children, but also to a marked limitation in the function itself. In recent years, microsurgical techniques have acquired a major role in thumb reconstruction. The present case report describes a case of a traumatic loss of a thumb and its subsequent reconstruction in which, for the purpose of better function and appearance, two free flaps, twisted two toe and serratus anterior musculocutaneous flap, were used. |
