Abstract
Background: Ring avulsion injuries occur when a sudden force pulls a ring from a finger, causing trauma that ranges from soft tissue laceration to complete amputation.1 Aim: To describe the management of a ring avulsion injury using a groin flap technique. Objectives: To prevent amputation, maintain finger function, and minimize morbidity. Material: A 17-year-old male presented with a ring avulsion injury to the right little finger, resulting in complete amputation at the distal interphalangeal joint and exposed tendon up to the proximal mid-phalanx. Result: The groin flap healed well, preserving finger function. Conclusion: Regional flaps play a critical role in managing ring avulsion injuries, especially in cases where microvascular replantation is unfeasible.2
