    Abstract
    Traumatic loss of a thumb results in notable functional impairment. Multiple reconstructive procedures have been described to address these deficits. Compared with no reconstruction, any procedure is of benefit. However, each of the described methods offers subtle benefits and downsides and may be more applicable in certain situations. We present a review of current reconstructive options for traumatic thumb amputation in 2016.Traumatic loss of a thumb results in notable functional impairment.
