Finger ring avulsion injuries can be functionally, cosmetically and emotionally devastating for the patient. This cadaveric study assessed a simple way to prevent ring avulsion injuries. Fresh cadaver fingers were used to test the incidence of avulsion injury with ordinary rings and when a single slot was cut in the ring. Intact rings mostly produced significant digital injuries, while the rings with slots did not.

Ring avulsion injury frequently results in vascular insufficiency (venous or arterial) and soft tissue injury. We report four cases requiring revascularization where venous congestion and dorsal skin cover were achieved using a composite pedicled venous flow-through flap. We have termed this a Venous Island Conduit (VIC) Flap. Two types of flaps, homodigital and heterodigital, were used, depending on the severity of the injury. The techniques and results are discussed. Venous island conduit flaps are ideally suited to the management of ring avulsion injury and have several advantages over the alternatives.
