Ray centralization without bone fixation for amputation of the middle finger.
Twelve patients requiring amputation of the middle finger have undergone resection of the entire ray, including a wedge from the capitate, and soft-tissue approximation of the index to the ring finger to close the gap. All regained full movement and a satisfactory appearance of the hand.
