โœฆ Synopsis

Three cases of complete amputation of the thumb are reported in which the amputated distal parts were not suitable for replantation. In all cases there were either complete or incomplete amputations of other digits. Two different techniques were used for thumb reconstruction: 1) pollicization of a partially amputated digit with transposition microsurgery in case 1; and 2) replantation of a less important amputated digit to the thumb stump for cases 2 and 3. These microsurgical efforts successfully restored thumb function in all three patients.
