title: Primary reconstruction of a degloved middle finger with a temporoparietal free flap.
abstract: The treatment of complete ring avulsion injuries is very demanding, and frequently the results are less than optimal. We present a case of a degloved middle finger reconstructed with a temporoparietal fascial free flap and skin grafting. This produced an aesthetic and functional finger.
