Salvaging the "unsalvageable" digit

S V Zachary et al. Hand Clin. 1997 May.

Abstract

Establishing soft-tissue coverage adequate to retain an injured digit (preserve length) is not always possible or advisable. Careful evaluation combined with the skillful application of various reconstructive procedures (at the expense of length) may salvage the function and aesthetics of the injured hand.
