Abstract |
Because of extensive vascular injury, reconstruction of ring avulsion injury is classically believed to be challenging for a hand surgeon. We report a case of ring avulsion injury treated by debridement of the damaged artery and interpositioning vessel graft with a healthy proper palmar digital artery, which lead to successful functional recovery. |
