Abstract
A case of successful replantation of multiple digits and circular palm amputation caused by an industrial punch force is reported. The two-level amputation was reconstructed by first replanting the severed fingers to the palmar segment and then connecting the palm segment to the hand stump. An arterial crisis was treated with urokinase, and postoperative functional recovery is described.
