Multiple finger amputations require challenging surgeries and special approach. At least, the thumb and middle finger should be replanted to maintain minimal hand functions. Technically, multiple amputations are more difficult than single finger amputation and distal amputations are more difficult than proximal ones. Herein, we present a case of four finger amputation. All fingers were successfully replanted. The patient required a long period of physical rehabilitation. The patient underwent another operation because of the extensor lag of the four fingers. In the second operation a four-tail FDS transfer to the lateral bands was performed. The rehabilitation process is still ongoing.
