Description of two cases of badly injuried hands, where the grasp-function has been restored. In one case, the traumatically amputated thumb was reconstructed in the conventional way, transposing the index finger on its neurovascular bundle. The other case demonstrates the use of modern microsurgical methods in substituting a freely transplanted toe with microvascular anastomoses for four lost fingers. Resulting function was satisfactory in both cases.
