Abstract

A case is presented of replantation of 10 digits at the proximal phalangeal level. Seven digits survived. Osteotomies and flexor tenolysis were done on the right thumb, long, and ring fingers and left index and long Fingers 11 months later. A toe-to-hand transfer was done to reconstruct the failed left thumb replantation. Functional and sensory recovery is satisfactory.
