Abstract

gested that this method has appeared in the literature. The writer has been unable to find it. In America’s Iarge industria1 pIants, amputation is approaching a rarity. In the smaIIer jobbing shops, where safety departments are Iess efficient, this injury is stiI1 sadIy common. The writer has had rather discouraging results with the free graft in industry. NeedIess to say, a11 digit amputations wiI1 not submit to this pIastic operation. GeneraIIy speaking, an amputation through a nai1, if the proxima1 part of the nai1 or its bed, remains and if the transverse Iine of amputation is not too obhque with the long axis of the finger, the operation has a good chance for success.
