    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive surgery
    • Hand surgery
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Thumb amputation presents significant functional and aesthetic challenges.
    • Primary reconstruction aims to restore function and form promptly.

    Observation:

    • A 37-year-old patient sustained an avulsion amputation of the thumb.
    • The patient underwent immediate primary reconstruction.

    Findings:

    • The thumb was reconstructed using a radial forearm flap.
    • Osseous fragments from the amputated thumb were incorporated into the reconstruction.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the efficacy of combined radial forearm flap and autologous bone grafting for thumb reconstruction.
    • Successful primary reconstruction can lead to improved patient outcomes and functional recovery.
