Sumario:BACKGROUND: Auricular avulsion remains one of the most common acquired ear deformities. Due to the complexity of each case, vast details of treatment approaches were to be considered, including in the case of partial auricular avulsion. Here we presented a case report with factors affecting the efficacy of simple reattachment as a treatment choice for a partial auricular avulsion. CASE REPORT: A 28-year-old male with partial auricular avulsion was treated with simple reattachment, achieving satisfactory results and without complications. CONCLUSION: The presence of an inferior pedicle, shorter injury to surgery time, and careful considerations of technical steps in conducting the simple reattachment and postoperative management are to increase the outcomes in partial auricular avulsions.
