- Abstract: In November 23, 2023, a patient with 9 digits traumatic crush injury by machine compression was emergently admitted to the Department of Hand and Microsurgery, Sichuan Modern Hospital. Emergency procedures included amputation the distal stumps and replantation of proximal phalanges of left ring and little fingers. Wounds in both hands were temporarily covered with bone cement. On December 4, 2023, reconstruction of 5 digits were performed. Digital defects were: Type Ⅲ defects of left index and middle fingers and right thumb and index fingers and Type IV defect of right middle finger. All 5 reconstructed digits survived. Subsequent refinements yielded favourable outcomes and all donor toes were preserved completely. At the 14-month follow-up, the reconstructed digits exhibited satisfactory appearance and length without difficulties in daily life and at work.
