title: Ring avulsion injury.
abstract: Dependent upon the age, the occupation, and the requisites of an individual patient, the less important ulnar fingers may be of great value; in these the philosophy of discriminate preservation should be  given considerable weight in the choice of treatment. Revascularization of fingers injured by a ring avulsion, and restoration of tactile gnosis with esthetic coverage make salvage of the valued ulnar fingers feasible. Three illustrative cases are described.
