Abstract
Treatment of an avulsion or degloving injury of the hand is a difficult but not unusual operation for plastic reconstructive or hand surgeons. The avulsion may be salvaged by arteriovenous shunting technique. We present a patient with incomplete avulsion injury of the distal phalanx of thumb. Arteriovenous shunting was created and the wound reconstructed primarily under venous arterialization. The avulsed skin envelope was survived well and functional status was improved.
