[Role of amputation in isolated complex injuries of the index finger].
The authors analyse the results of 10 amputations and 10 conservatives treatments for complex isolated trauma of the second ray. The localisation of this finger in the hand require an utilisation in "all or nothing" function. The comparison of the two series show that the amputated one's gives the best results as much for the function that for the cosmetic level. So, the non conservative treatment seems the better solution for the problems of complex trauma of the index finger.
