Abstract

This study evaluates the long-term donor site outcomes after second toe transfers for congenital hand differences performed during childhood. In total, 25 toe transfers in 18 patients were followed up for a mean period of 17.4 years. We examined the patients clinically, radiologically and with a gait analysis system. Patient-reported outcome measures were collected. The patients were asymptomatic and there were no problematic clinical or radiological findings. Patients expressed high levels of satisfaction. The results were consistent, regardless of the resection level in the toe transfer or whether the operation was unilateral or bilateral. No postoperative complications or late reoperations on the foot were observed.
