Replantation of Nine Fingers in a Patient: A case report
Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
Amputation of multiple fingers of both hands is a rare and serious injury. We report a case of a 41-year-old male patient who presented to Khoula Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2015 with the amputation of nine fingers due to a workplace injury. With two teams working in tandem, all the amputated fingers were re-attached. A total of seven fingers survived and the patient regained reasonable functionality of his hands. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of several finger amputations in Oman.
