| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Crush injury with bone loss results in shortening the length of the thumb. Most of the immediate intervention is amputation and stump closure. Revision amputation with stump closure gives loss of functional length and the patient is unable to do daily activities as before. In most of all hand functions, the opposition of the thumb plays an important role. Reconstruction of the thumb with iliac crest bone graft with its functional length is one of the major achievements for the patient. As in our case, the patient is right-hand dominant he is more concerned about the functional length of the thumb, whatever the aesthetic appearance. Here we present a case of a 24-year-old male with thumb reconstruction in a severely injured thumb with loss of bone and soft tissue just distal to the base of the proximal phalanx. Nine months postoperatively, the patient showed a great outcome with restored thumb length, function, grip strength, and a good range of motion. | |
