Abstract
Fingertip partial or complete amputations are the most common hand injuries among pediatric population. Different treating options are nowadays available, with microsurgery that has been pushing further and further its technical limits; nevertheless it requires extraordinary surgical skills and experience. We present our step-by-step technique according to Hirase’s composite cooling graft principles as an effective alternative to more complex solutions. This procedure showed excellent results in children, with promising results even in young adults.
