ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the time period for clinical management of multi-plane and multi-segmental finger amputations, and the particularity of the reconstruction time for the distal segment vein without venous anastomosis in multi-segmental finger amputations.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a patient with cutting polydactyly and multi-plane finger amputation who was admitted to our hospital on January 13, 2022

Results:Four fingers and nine segments of severed fingers were replanted, and seven segments survived. According to Tamai’s scoring criteria, the index finger was excellent, and the middle, ring, and little fingers were good.

Conclusion: Under good wound debridement and protection, the time period for multiplane repair of severed fingers can be extended. In the case of multiplane finger amputation, the reconstruction time for the distal segment vein without venous anastomosis may be longer than that of single distal segment finger amputation by more than 9 days.
