This patient lost his thumb and index finger so they turned his middle finger into a new thumb.

Re: A New Thumb
My father had something similar. He had an accident with a table saw and destroyed his thumb. His index finger was partially severed, but still had nerve and blood supply. The vessels and nerves were rerouted through the palm and the finger attached as a thumb. It took several months to fully heal and almost a year for him retrain his brain to use it with dexterity. |
