Cross transposition of short amputation stumps for reconstruction of the thumb.

Cross transposition of digital rays is illustrated by a case of amputation of the thumb and the middle finger. A remnant of the stump of the middle finger was mobilised and brought on top of the first metacarpal, in order to restore a functional length to the amputated thumb. A cross transposition of the second digital ray to the third was also carried out, closing the gap left by the resection of the third metacarpal.

Reliable option for reconstruction of amputation stumps: the free anterolateral thigh flap.

The increased use of microsurgery has enabled reconstructive surgeons to deal with tissue defects of various sizes and compositions. The limited amount of qualified tissue for covering is the primary problem in stump reconstruction. Free flaps offer the ideal solution by providing the optimal cover, and by preserving the length of the amputation site. Anterolateral thigh flaps were preferred for reconstruction of lower extremity amputation sites of nine patients admitted both in the subacute and chronic periods. All underwent previous stump reconstruction with local flaps in other clinics. Anterolateral thigh flaps avoided further shortening of the extremities, and provided stable tissue for prosthesis use. The flap offers reliable soft-tissue reconstruction of amputation stumps.
