From Devastation to Function : A Comprehensive Reconstructive Approach to High-Energy Hand Trauma with Multiple Amputated Digits - 01/10/26
, Francesco Zanchetta, MD a, Giorgio Eugenio Pajardi, MD a, bRiassunto |
This case report describes the successful multistage reconstruction of a severely mangled hand in a 15-year-old boy following a firecracker explosion. The injury resulted in multiple digit amputations, complex fractures, extensive soft tissue loss, and damage to critical anatomic structures, sparing only the little finger. Initial management focused on debridement, skeletal stabilization, and soft tissue coverage, followed by a carefully planned reconstructive pathway. Key surgical interventions included a medial plantar free flap for glabrous, sensate coverage of the thumb, a second toe transfer to restore opposition and prehension, and distraction osteogenesis of the first metacarpal to improve thumb length and fine pinch.
