Kadir Ertem*, İrfan Ayan**, Mustafa Karakaplan*, Hacı Bostan*, Arslan Bora* . Abstract | | | |
In congenital malformations the lenghtening of partially aplastic digits, by on-top plasty of a bone graft, or the bony
stabilization of finger stumps consisting of soft tissue without skeletal elements, is extremelly difficult. In this study
we report a rare case with congenital aphalangia of thirth and fourth fingers of the left hand treated with
nonvascularised proximal phalanxes of second and thirth toes. We had satisfactory results for function and cosmetic
at the 20th months followup evaluation.
Key Words: Congenital, Deformity, Phalanx Aplasia, Bone Graft.
