Abstract

Although amputations occur much less frequently in children than in adults and adolescents, amputation injuries in the pediatric population are associated with significant physical disfigurement, functional and psychosocial disability, and a high financial burden. Amputations of digits in children are a challenging problem for the pediatric hand surgeon due to the technical handling of the fragile and diminutive anatomy. Obtaining an accurate history of the injury mechanism also provides the surgeon with information that may affect surgical treatment.
