Abstract

Simultaneous transfer of the second toes of the right and left feet was done to reconstruct the index and middle fingers in a 23-year-old man. A two-team microsurgical procedure approach was used. Technical aspects of the procedure are described. Long-term functional results have been good, both cosmetic and functional. Only one previous case of this type was described by Ohtsuka in 1977.
