Abstract
A bloodless field is essential in hand surgery. In finger surgery, this can be achieved by the rubber glove technique. When treating a tip avulsion in a 5-year-old boy the tourniquet was accidentally left in place. This resulted in a necrotic finger that had to be amputated. To prevent this disastrous complication, we propose never to use this method of digital tourniquet.
