43.1 Introduction
From a functional point of view, the thumb is the most important digit in the hand, able to effectively oppose with the remaining four ulnar ngers, which allows the gripping and manipulation of objects and tools. Congenital absence of a functioning thumb, or its loss due to acquired conditions, inevitably results in considerable loss of hand function. Even though attempts to reconstruct thumbs using tubed pedicled aps were attempted in the nineteenth century, it was the Viennese surgeon Carl Nicoladoni who rst described the use of a second toe for this purpose [1]. It was in 1898 that the rst pedicled second toe to thumb transfer was performed for a 5-year-old patient, with its pedicle being divided 16days later.
Thanks to the experimental work of Harry Buncke [2],

fer was performed in 1968 by the British surgeon John Cobbett in East Grinstead [3]. Even though the second toe tends to be smaller than the thumb, it offers two main advan­tages over the great toe donor site: (a) the second toe metatarso- phalangeal joint can be included, which is of use in proximal amputations and (b) the donor site is cosmeti­cally favourable [4]. The second toe ap is preferred in digi­tal reconstruction and also in children with congenital differences; it may be the preferred option for thumb recon­struction in children and female patients because of donor site considerations.
43.2 Anatomy
The second toe is perfused by its proper digital arteries, which emerge from the conuence of the dorsal and plantar metatarsal arteries in the area just proximal to the intermeta­tarsal ligament. The second toe free ap is raised with one or more dorsal subcutaneous veins, and the dominant metatar­sal artery. The latter tends to be the dorsal system, derived from the dorsalis pedis artery in approximately 70% of the cases [5]; in these cases, the pedicle can be traced proximally on the dorsum of the foot to increase pedicle length. If the dorsal system is non-dominant, then a more tedious plantar dissection is required, which typically yields a shorter pedicle.
The second toe ap can be harvested with the metatarso­phalangeal joint and metatarsal if needed. The extensor digi­torum longus and brevis tendons lie in a subcutaneous plane in the foot dorsum, while the exor digitorum longus and brevis run inside a exor sheath on the plantar aspect. Both proper digital nerves of the second toe derive from common digital nerve branches of the medial plantar nerve—intraneu­ral dissection allows the principal digital nerves to be har­vested with greater length if needed; dorsal cutaneous nerves should be harvested as well, to optimize sensibility in the transferred toe.

43.3 Pre-operative Investigation
Raising this ap for thumb reconstruction requires careful planning of the recipient site, considering the level of the amputation and surrounding soft tissues. An adequate rst webspace is key to obtain an opposable reconstructed thumb, therefore this should be addressed before transferring a sec­ond toe.
The main benet of pre-operative investigations con­cerning the donor site is to determine the dominant meta­tarsal artery. High denition computed tomography (CT) angiography is able to delineate the arterial perfusion of the foot, including its terminal branches; however, it involves radiation and use of contrast. Colour duplex ultrasound provides more information than a hand-held
Doppler, being able to describe the subcutaneous vascular anatomy.
43.4 Flap Design andMarkings
The second and third webspaces are marked at their mid points. From there a “V”-shaped incision is planned on both the plantar and dorsal surfaces, with the apex lying, approxi­mately, over the metatarsophalangeal joint. The dorsal inci­sion in extended proximally with Brunner aps to allow adequate exposure of the neurovascular structures and exten­sors. The plantar incision can be extended proximally up to the metatarsal heads level with a straight line (Figs.43.1 and
43.2), but is usually limited to avoid tender plantar scarring.

43.5 Flap Raise/Elevation: AStep-by-Step
Step 1—Incision and Venous Dissection: Under tourni-
quet control dorsal incisions are made and thin skin aps
are raised. Supercial veins draining the second toe are
identied and protected, as these need to be included with
the ap (Fig.43.3).
Step 2—Retrograde Dissection: Arterial dissection
commences distally in the rst web space; retrograde dis-
section determines whether the arterial supply to the sec-
ond toe is dorsal dominant, or plantar dominant (Fig.43.4).
If there is a dorsal dominant circulation (70% cases) the
rst dorsal metatarsal artery can be traced proximally to
its origin at the dorsal pedis. Debakey forceps and ne
microsurgical instruments are used to handle the vessels;
side branches are clipped with micro Ligaclips or cauter-
ised with ne bipolar forceps. The dorsalis pedis is identi-

ed with its associated venae commitans by retracting the extensor hallucis brevis laterally. It is recommended to explore the arterial anatomy initially from the distal rst web space, and simply follow the larger caliber vessels as they course dorsally or plantar wards i.e. to embark on toe elevation without preliminary imaging of the arterial sup­ply. It is also recommended to dissect out the artery of the second web too, while preparing the nerve of that aspect, since this provides exibility when selecting a suitable recipient vessel.
Step 3—Extensor Tendons: The extensor digitorum brevis and longus can be easily identified and dis­sected for division and transfer. It is important to take sufficient length to allow a weave tenorrhaphy (Fig.43.5).
Step 4—Cutaneous Nerves: The deep peroneal nerve lies lateral to the dorsalis pedis, it should be marked with 6.0 nylon before division. Any sizeable dorsal cutaneous nerves supplying the second toe are harvested.
Step 5—Plantar Dissection and Flexor Tendons: After raising and defatting the plantar skin ap, dissection pro­ceeds into the rst and second web spaces, where fascial bands must be divided to identify the proper digital arter­ies to the second toe; branches going to the great toe and middle toe are clipped and divided (Fig.43.6). As the dis­section proceeds, the plantar digital nerves and exor ten­dons are also exposed (Fig.43.6). Once adequate exposure is obtained, the dominant metatarsal artery of the rst web is preserved and the secondary artery is divided and clipped. The senior author routinely harvests the second web artery as a back-up. If there is a plantar dominant circulation, pedicle length can be extended using an inter­position vein graft (rather than an extended plantar dis­section). The exor digitorum longus and brevis are identied for division and transfer.

Fig. 43.6 Plantar dissection is demonstrated in this gure; the plantar digital nerves are identied, and here a plantar dominant arterial supply to the second toe is identied
Step 6—Metatarsophalangeal Joint Disarticulation: Our preferred level for taking the second toe is at the metatarsophalangeal joint, but a segment of the metatar­sal bone can also be harvested without signicant mor­bidity. Disarticulation is performed by dividing the collateral ligaments, volar plate and capsule of the joint. The tourniquet is let down, after tenotomy of the extrin­sic tendons but before division of the vascular supply, to assess perfusion (Fig.43.7); if there is evidence of vaso­spasm warm saline or papaverine can be irrigated over the pedicle. Once the level of harvest is decided, the artery and vein are divided and the toe can then be removed and wrapped in a saline moistened gauze (Fig.43.8).
Step 7—Recipient Preparation and Donor Site Closure: At the recipient site a cruciate incision can be used to achieve wide exposure. Extensor and exor ten­dons are tagged as well as recipient digital nerves; ade­quate tenolysis ensures good glide in recipient tendons. The recipient bone stump is usually prepared with an oscillating saw (Fig.43.9). For thumb reconstruction the radial artery in the anatomical snuff box and associated venae commitans and dorsal veins are exposed and pre­pared; suitable side branches may be used for end-to-side anastomosis. The donor site is closed by approximating the soft tissues medial and lateral to the excision defect with strong PDS sutures. Skin is then closed with ne sutures.
Step 8—Osteosynthesis, Tendon Repair, Microsurgery: Joint capsule is elevated off the base of the toe proximal phalanx to expose the proximal shaft; soft tissues are then protected by wrapping the toe in moist gauze, before care-

fully removing the articular surface with an oscillating saw. Osteosynthesis is performed with two parallel inter­osseous wire loops, an interosseous wire and single Kirschner wire (Lister technique) or a single Kirschner wire (Fig.43.10). It is important make sure that the thumb is in a good position for opposition. Tendons are repaired using a Pulvertaft weave. The digital nerves are repaired with 9.0 nylon. Arterial anastomosis is then performed, followed by two venous anastomoses if the veins are smaller than the artery.
Step 9—Skin Closure: It is important to avoid harvest- ing excessive fat around the neurovascular structures of the donor toe, which can create unwanted tension dur­ing wound closure and also compromise the aesthetics of the reconstructed digit (Fig.43.11). If skin closure without tension is not possible, we apply split thickness skin grafts over the base of the second toe and in some cases over the pedicle. This reduces the chance of pedi­cle compression and vascular compromise. A well-pad­ded splint is applied so that no pressure is applied to the pedicle.

43.6 Core Surgical Techniques inFlap
Dissection
Retrograde Dissection Retrograde dissection from the dis­tal rst-web space quickly reveals whether the arterial sup­ply is dorsal- or plantar-dominant. Needless dissection over the dorsum of the foot is avoided if a plantar dominant circu­lation is identied. The pedicle of a plantar dominant toe can be lengthened with an interposition vein graft.
Pedicle Dissection Care must be taken when dissecting the arterial and venous supply to the toe, we nd handling with microsurgical instruments and use of microligaclips useful. Dissection should be performed with bipolar cautery on a low setting [6] and thermal damage can be avoided with heat sink bipolar technique.
Cutaneous Nerves As many cutaneous nerves as possible should be identied and repaired, since this improves the chances of good sensory recovery in the reconstructed digit.
Recipient Vessel In cases of symbrachydactyly there will
be variations in anatomy and care must be taken to choose suitable veins and arteries for the toe transfer. It is preferred to go more proximal to larger vessels in the anatomical snuff box or wrist. Care must be taken to measure the required pedicle length before transfer and ascertain whether vein grafts are required.
D. Nikkhah et al.
Osteosynthesis We prefer intraosseous wire xation or
k-wires (particularly in children) over plate xation. It allows for less dissection and preserves more periosteum. Rapid, simple and strong xation can be achieved with two parallel box wires.
Donor Site Closure The morbidity with closure of the second toe donor site is minimal, we have noticed no long­term issues, apart from mild secondary clinodactyly of the remaining toes in the paediatric population (Figs. 43.12 and 43.13).

43.7 Clinical Scenario
43.7.1 Case Scenario A: Congenital Hand—
Symbrachydactyly—Surgeon Mark Pickford
425
A 4-year-old boy presented with monodactylous symbrachy­dactyly. After discussion with his parents they opted for a second toe transfer to provide large grasp and opposition. A second toe transfer was performed without complication. At 3-year follow-up the child was able to grasp and had a static 2 point discrimination of 5mm (Figs.43.14 and 43.15).
43.7.2 Case Scenario B: Traumatic Injury
totheHand—Surgeon Mark Pickford
A 45-year-old patient sustained a grenade injury to his left hand. He sustained a near total amputation of his non­dominant thumb, leaving part of his rst metacarpal. In the rst stage he had a pedicled posterior interosseous artery (PIA) ap imported into the rst webspace. A second toe ap was raised and anastomosed to the anatomical snuff box with a bridging vein graft. He had an uneventful recovery (Figs.43.16, 43.17, and 43.18).
43.7.3 Case Scenario C: Firework Injury
toHand—Surgeon Petr Vondra
Fig. 43.14 Long-term outcome after second toe transfer for monodac-
tylous symbrachydactyly
A 15-year-old male sustained a devastating rework injury to his hand. The primary treatment was debridement and wound closure. The patient sustained complete loss of the rst ray—only part of the trapezium remained, and only parts of the second to fourth metacarpal bones remained. From the fth ray remained a well functional metacarpopha­langeal joint and proximal phalanx of little nger (Fig.43.19).

The patient underwent second toe to “thumb” microvas-
cular reconstruction (Fig.43.20). He regained sensation and movement and had an excellent donor site outcome (Fig.43.21), but his webspace was too tight and he subse­quently underwent a pedicled PIA ap for widening 6months

43.8 Pearls andPitfalls
Pearls
• When incising the plantar triangle of skin one must leave most of the plantar fat on the foot, transferring the subcutaneous fat will make inset difcult. This will reduce bulk and allow for better joint motion in the reconstructed thumb.
• During osteosynthesis, protect the neurovascular structures with an aperture made in a glove, or a moist gauze wrap. This retracts back the soft tissues and protects them from iatrogenic injury.
• Perform the microsurgical anastomosis proximally on reliable, large-calibre vessels at the wrist (for thumb reconstruction), particularly in cases where is there is aberrant anatomy or unreliable proximal ow. Our preference is to use a posterior wall anas­tomosis in end-to-end arterial and venous repair.
• Neuromas can help identify the proximal ends of digital nerves at the recipient site; these are resected under the microscope prior to neurroraphy.
• After traumatic thumb amputations it may be neces­sary to prepare for second toe transfer by initially optimizing the rst web, for example, using a PIA ap or a free groin ap.
Fig. 43.22 Demonstration of pinch after second toe transfer
Pitfalls
• During second toe inset it is important not to close the skin tightly; if necessary apply split thickness skin grafts over areas (including the pedicle) if there is skin shortage.
• Ensure that as many cutaneous nerves are repaired with a tensionless nerve repair; nerve grafts may be used to bridge the segmental gaps.
• Avoid tight dressings and a so-called bloodcast, which can impair ap circulation.
