Abstract
Two cases of subtotal traumatic metacarpal amputation in young people are described. Reimplantation with the help of microvascular surgical techniques was successful. In one case in which vascular connections to two long fingers were still present, the advantages of reconstruction of important vessels are pointed out, not only for reimplantation itself, but also as prophylaxis against circulatory disorders.
