The study presents a rare case of avulsion amputation of the
ring finger managed by a double cross-finger flap. Avulsion amputation of the
fingers is rare. The current trend is to replant the avulsed tissue in spite of
a high rate of failure. We report a case of a 33-year-old right-handed male
small-time businessman presented with a history of injury to his left ring
finger. His ring was caught in some part of a bus as he alighted and the bus
moved forward pulling off his finger. There are situations where replantation
is not possible. Various salvage procedures have been mentioned. A similar
procedure has been reported by other authors but with a short-term follow-up.
Many procedures are available for the salvage of a nonreplantable ring avulsion
injury. In our hands, the simple procedure of cross-finger flaps has given a
good long-term result.
