description We present a 51-year-old male who sustained a traumatic amputation with a saw of the right thumb, index finger, and carpal bones back to the radius. The amputated digits were mangled and not suitable for replantation. We performed pollicization of the long finger which helped restore a more functional hand. In select situations, this reconstructive option has the advantages of being a single-stage procedure with limited donor site morbidity and no need for microsurgical anastomosis.
