Summary
Injury of the auricle are most often caused by mechanical force( sharp or blunt) .The subtotal ear amputation is the avulsion of almost whole tissue of the auricle. The options for the reconstruction depends on the location , extend of the injury and blood vesel size. Misrosurgical ear replantation is the best choise for the reconstruction in the case with amputated pedicle, but in some reasons such as an associated trauma besides the main injury and small vessel size of the amputated part, this kind of treatmen is not possible. All the time patient states that the hearing is good. In comparation with his right normal ear (Figure 4) left reconstructed ear is 1,5cm shorter.
