Acute fingertip and thumb injuries are common and require prompt and meticulous composite soft-tissue repair in incomplete amputations. Complete amputations proximal to the eponychial fold in the thumb or multiple digits may be salvaged by microvascular techniques (see Chapter 63); however, more distal devascularizing injuries rarely can be salvaged by such means and usually require special composite soft-tissue coverage techniques or complete amputation.
