title: Results of treatment of 48 ring avulsion injuries.
abstract: A retrospective study of 48 patients with ring avulsion injuries was performed. Patients were grouped according to severity of damage. Revascularization with interposition grafts was performed in all patients where indicated. In contrast to the experience of others, even class III lesions (total avulsion) were salvaged.
