    Author: Baek SM, Kim SS.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1992; 45(6):407-12. PubMed ID: 1393243.
    Abstract:
    Ten or nine-digit amputation is a very rare injury. From March, 1987 to June, 1988, we replanted two cases of ten-digit complete amputation and two cases of nine-digit complete amputation with success. The maximum ischaemic time was 39 h and the operation time was between 25 and 31 h. All digits survived completely except for partial necrosis of one finger. The follow-up has been 13-20 months, and all the patients have a pair of good, functional and aesthetically acceptable hands.
