【 摘 要 】

We present four cases of fingertip amputation treated with local flap where the avulsed fingertip skin could be effectively utilized for these donor sites. The avulsed finger skin may be utilized even when replantation is not possible. This approach may serve as a new treatment option after fingertip amputation.
