Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg. 1997 Jun;31(2):181-3. doi: 10.3109/02844319709085487.

Abstract

We present a case of second toe to hand transfer in a 64 year old patient with Monckeberg's sclerosis, who had had first four fingers of his right hand amputated. The result was satisfactory, even though this type of arteriosclerosis is usually considered a relative contraindication to transfer.
