Finger loss, especially the loss of the distal tips of the other four fingers except for the thumb, has a relatively small impact on hand function. However, countless people still choose finger reconstruction after years, decades, or even decades of loss.

By clenching a fist, hide the secret of the missing end of the left ring finger. The missing end of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger has the greatest impact on social interaction

So, Vice President Wu Zhaosen, an expert in finger reconstruction, carefully collected numerous reasons for reconstruction during the consultation. Their answer is:

Even a slight imperfection feels incomplete; Always clenching fists and not daring to reach out, which particularly affects social interaction; The functionality has already been replaced, mainly due to the unattractive appearance

Missing distal end of index finger

Dean Wu said, "In the finger reconstruction of 2025, the most impressive and heart wrenching thing for me is the round reconstruction of the distal end of the left ring finger completed in July

When asked about the reason for her decision to rebuild, Yuan Yuan said, "I feel quite insecure and in pain. It always affects my mood. Whenever I see or use it, I feel very painful and anxious

Although it has been missing for 30 years and there are not many people who know it well and my family doesn't care, they say it's unnecessary, but I still want to recreate it and don't want any regrets

Recently, more than 5 months after the reconstruction surgery, Vice Director Wu Junqing of the repair and reconstruction team visited him and saw the ideal recovered ring finger.

Reasons for missing fingers:

30 years ago, Yuan Yuan, who was over 6 years old at the time, had her left ring finger rolled into a noodle press. Due to severe damage, after emergency treatment, she developed a missing distal end of her finger.

Develop surgical plan:

After consultation, Dr. Wu, an expert in finger reconstruction, developed a comprehensive and detailed surgical plan for Yuan Yuan and his family

Using the right thumb nail flap, transplant and reconstruct the missing left ring finger. Due to the presence of nails on the toes, the reconstructed shape is the most natural, beautiful, and suitable for treating the healthy side of the ring finger

Before surgery, 3D printing technology will also be used to 1:1 restore the size of the missing ring finger. During the surgery, the thumb nail flap was precisely designed and finely cut to achieve the goal of "taking as much as needed", with only a portion of the right big toe taken.

This can not only restore the missing ring finger intact, but also minimize the trauma to the toes. The toes in the original donor area still retain a certain shape, the most obvious being the absence of toenails.

After completing the preoperative preparation, Dean Wu led the repair and reconstruction team to successfully perform the ring finger reconstruction surgery, and the postoperative recovery was also very smooth and rapid.

5 months after surgery

Postoperative follow-up:

After more than 5 months of surgery, Dr. Wu Junqing, who was Yuan Yuan's chief physician and deputy director of the Department of Repair and Reconstruction Surgery, conducted another follow-up visit and specially sent photos to share the joy of regaining a complete finger.
