Toe Transfer for Thumb and Finger Reconstruction
Advanced reconstructive microsurgery lecture for surgeons and trainees
In this educational webinar, Prof. Fu-Chan Wei shares his extensive experience in toe-to-thumb and toe-to-finger transfer for complex hand reconstruction. The lecture focuses on restoring function after traumatic thumb and finger loss, with special attention to microsurgical planning, choice of donor toe, reconstruction strategy, and long-term outcomes.
Participants will explore:
- indications for toe transfer in thumb and finger reconstruction;
- timing of reconstruction in acute, subacute, and delayed settings;
- selection between great toe, trimmed great toe, and second toe transfer;
- positioning, length, contour, and opposition in thumb reconstruction;
- combined toe transfers in multi-digit injuries;
- donor-site management and functional considerations for the foot;
- rehabilitation principles and postoperative recovery;
- practical discussion of outcomes in severe upper-limb trauma.
This lecture is especially valuable for surgeons working in plastic and reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, trauma reconstruction, and microsurgery, and is highly relevant for teams managing devastating extremity injuries in both civilian and wartime settings.
