Abstract
With reconstructive microsurgical techniques, some previously hopelessly mutilated hands have become reconstructable. The functional and esthetic results of such hands can be improved to an acceptable degree with thorough prereconstruction evaluation and planning. This case report demonstrates the approach to reconstruction of a mutilated hand using the following: a pedicle groin flap for soft tissue reconstruction of the first web space and the amputation stump of the thumb; a combined second and third toe transfer for reconstruction of opposable fingers at the amputated index and middle finger stumps; a single second toe for reconstruction of the thumb, and an iliac osteocutaneous flap for reconstruction of the ulnar border of the palm.
