Composite Big-Toe Flap of Nail, Nail Matrix, and Bone for Replacement of a Thumb Defect: Case Report

ABSTRACT

Defects created by glomus tumor resection are usually closed primarily or with the use of a skin graft or a local flap. The authors present a case with a large defect on the radial side of a dominant thumb where, to replace missing tissue with the same type of tissue, a custom-made free toe transfer was used, to provide a good functional and aesthetic reconstruction.
