Hypoplastic Thumb Reconstruction via Metatarsophalangeal Transfer

This is a report on a small series of cases with hypoplastic thumb (Fig. 1) treated with a metatarsophalangeal transfer. We hereby certify that all applicable institutional and governmental regulations concerning the ethical use of human volunteers were followed during this research. Ethics committee of the Arak University of the medical Science approved the design of the study (IR.ARAKMU.REC.1400.230). Informed written consent was obtained from all participants.Fig. 1

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
