The importance of considering the possibility of later thumb replacement during the primary treatment of the injured thumbless hand is pointed out. Even a functionless long finger or a part of it which can be later used for a thumb reconstruction should be retained, as in such a hand its loss may be otherwise irreplaceable. The rare indication for primary thumb replacement is also demonstrated.
指出了在受伤的无拇指手的初次治疗过程中考虑后期拇指置换可能性的重要性。即使是功能缺失的长手指或其一部分，若之后可用于拇指重建，也应予以保留，因为在这样的手上，其缺失可能无法替代。还展示了初次拇指置换的罕见适应症。
