ABSTRACT
A surgical procedure of replacing a destroyed metacarpal head with a metatarsal graft is described. With this method internal fixation with foreign material as well as postoperative immobilisation can be avoided. A follow up of 25 autotransplantations in rheumatoid patients is presented, showing no complications and fair function of the new operated joint.
