Article Abstract
The thumb is the most important part of the hand. If thumb is amputated, all efforts should be made to replant it to preserve hand functions. Good functional outcome can be obtained with successful thumb replantation than with other reconstructive surgery. We present a case of thumb amputation of a 44 -year-old male with severe damage to the soft tissues and bony structures of the radial part of the hand. We performed the replantation anastomosing the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery as donor artery as the proximal part of thumb digital arteries were severely damaged due to crush injury and got favorable result.

Optimizing Fingertip Reconstruction: A Comparative Analysis of Reverse Homodigital Island and Digital Artery Perforator Flaps.
Microsurgery
September 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Fingertip amputations are a common form of hand trauma and often require soft tissue reconstruction when replantation is not feasible. The reverse homodigital island flap (RHI) and the digital artery perforator flap (DAP) are two widely used techniques for fingertip reconstruction; however, direct comparisons of their clinical outcomes remain limited.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 39 patients who underwent either RHI (n = 20) or DAP (n = 19) procedures for fingertip injuries.

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Cairns Hospital, Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
Traumatic thumb amputations can result in significant functional disability. In some circumstances, replantation may not always be possible. We present a case of osteocutaneous superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator free flap reconstruction of a thumb in a 77-year-old woman who had a traumatic degloving injury through the interphalangeal joint.

Department of Orthopedics, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.
Introduction: The Touch® dual-mobility prosthesis is a well-established treatment for advanced trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint osteoarthritis, offering an alternative to resection arthroplasty. Short-term studies suggest dual-mobility designs reduce dislocation and loosening compared to single-mobility prostheses. This retrospective study presents clinical outcomes after a mean follow-up of 24 months, focusing on revision surgery and providing insights about key surgical steps and the management of adverse events.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Rehabilitation Clinical Hospital, Cluj Napoca, Romania.
Purpose: Complex injuries of the hand with finger amputation can result in important functional impairment. If the amputated fingers cannot be replanted, the developed sequelae should be further evaluated. Sometimes, in the presence of a few remaining local vascular resources, the use of the flow-through technique can help in solving the problem.
