- To restore blood supply, surgeons utilized the radial artery of the neighboring middle finger for reconstruction, performing intricate microsurgical techniques to reattach the fingertip.
- The procedure was successful, resulting in good blood flow and satisfactory appearance and function of the finger, highlighting the technique's utility for severe vascular defects.
