Abstrakt:	Traumatic thumb injuries significantly affect overall hand function and may result in considerable disability. Reconstructing the traumatized thumb requires a detailed preoperative assessment of the defect and evaluation of the patient's social history and medical comorbidities. Reconstructive techniques can be stratified by the level of thumb injury. The goals of thumb reconstruction are to restore length, stability, mobility, and sensibility. This article reviews reconstructive principles and operative techniques for reconstructing the traumatized thumb. Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose.
