Abstract
Surgical treatment of complete cutaneous ring finger avulsion is a challenge in hand surgery. When replantation of the avulsed fragment is not technically feasible, the surgeon must consider reconstruction of soft tissue. Many surgical techniques have been described. We report a case of complete avulsion of the cutaneous sheath and nail of the fourth finger with preservation of mobility and collateral nerves. The reconstruction of soft tissue was performed by a Colson flap-graft. This simple and reliable technique of reconstruction allowed to obtain a functional and sensitive finger with a satisfactory cosmetic result.
