Abstract
- To achieve better functional results following mutilating multidigital trauma, every effort should be made to maximize the ultimate function of the hand, and the plan of replantation should be guided accordingly. All usable parts should be salvaged from the amputated nonreplantable areas. A patient is reported in whom two fingers taken from the nonreplantable midpalm were used to reconstruct the thumb and ring fingers, ultimately improving the overall quality of the patient's life.
