ABSTRACT
The Buck-Gramcko (BG) technique of pollicisation has stood the test of time and provides good to excellent prehensile function in thumb hypoplasia. Proponents of the technique favour it because it provides good exposure to the palmar neurovascular structures. However, the skin flap design may occasionally lead to a 'finger-like' appearance with a sharp interdigital cleft and a triphalangeal form. In this report, we describe some of the important aspects of the operative technique so that the outcome is aesthetically pleasing in addition to providing good function. Level of Evidence Level V (Therapeutic).
