Abstract

Digital finger amputation with soft tissue injury is a frequent accident in reconstructive surgery. Several techniques about reconstruction of digital finger amputation are described in literature. However replantation is difficult when large segments of the arteries are missing. This is especially true for distal finger phalanx amputations, where replantation is done in selected patients such as artists or musicians. In this article a microsurgical replantation techniques of a distal artery and proximal vein anastomosis is presented in a distal phalanx amputation, which successfully solved the problem of venous reflux without venous anastomosis.
