Total thumb reconstruction by an index finger transposition. 1986

H Takami, and S Takahashi, and M Ando

A case of total thumb reconstruction after traumatic amputation is described. The reconstruction was carried out as a staged procedure with preliminary application of a pedicle flap, and a normal index finger transposition, followed by opposition transfer using the abductor digiti quinti muscle. Twenty-seven months after the index finger pollicization, the reconstructed thumb had satisfactory function.

D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
