Abstract: | We describe a technique to improve the cosmetic appearance of the nail of the great toe after partial toe transfer for thumb reconstruction. By harvesting a bone fragment longitudinally from the distal phalanx, it is possible to increase the curvature of the nail and decrease its visual projection. |
