title: [Ring avulsion injuries: improved indications for replantation].
abstract: Based on experiences with 12 replantations of ring avulsion injuries, an additional classification of type III avulsions (Urbaniak, 1981) is proposed, according to the level of injury of the neurovascular bundles. If this lies proximally (III P), microsurgical reconstruction is usually straightforward and the prognosis generally good; in distal lesions (III D), however, uncorrectable segmental devascularization can occur, which may be detrimental to survival or ultimate function.
