Abstract
Severed finger with avulsion is also called a ring avulsed finger that is combined with avulsed arteries and nerves, which are difficult to repair. It usually occurs in workers wearing gloves to operate a high-speed spinning machine or a finger with a ring whose entire soft tissue was avulsed like taking off the gloves, including skin, subcutaneous tissue, vessels, and nerves, just leaving the bones, joints, and tendons. It is characterized by:
-
(a)
The destroyed finger has a blunt injury, which is much heavier than the distal part.
-
(b)
The avulsed tissues are not in the same plane or even the same tissue.
-
(c)
The avulsed vessels and nerves are usually long and may not be able to be used.
-
(d)
The finger body of the destroyed finger is usually contused to different degrees.
