Transferts osseux vascularisés pédiculés et reconstruction digitale

The techniques of pedicled bone transfer harvested from the forearm and the hand are largely used in digit reconstruction during the last three decades. Comparing with the vascularized bone-free transfer techniques, their realization is generally easier because of the single operative field and the absence of microvascular suture. Based on their clinical experience, the authors try to make the point about the surgical techniques and the indications of the principal pedicled bone transfers harvested from the forearm and the hand for digit reconstruction.
