Degloving injuries of the fingers receive digital sensory nerve damage as well as digital artery damage together with degloving of the finger skin at the time of injury. Although the finger is well covered with skin and the joint motion has completely recovered after the injury, if there is no sensation in the finger tip problems remain. From October, 1982 to December, 1985 Dong San Medical Center, Keimyung University did free digital sensory nerve grafts on 11 cases using the sural nerve. Follow up studies which lasted from 10 to 39 months showed good results. Therefore this free digital nerve graft operation is considered to be a favourable mothod in obtaining sensation for digital degloving injuries.
