Firework injuries pose a significant concern during celebrations, often resulting in severe trauma that can adversely affect an individual's functional capacity and quality of life. The case highlights a young male who sustained an unwarranted incident after a malfunctioning pyrotechnic device detonated while held in his dominant hand. The patient underwent amputation of several digits while also salvaging the fifth digit and thumb, for which an open reduction and internal fixation were performed.

The complexity of these cases must include a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, which begins from initial treatment management to long-term rehabilitation.
