Fingertip crush injuries are commonly encountered as a result of workplace accidents causing significant morbidity. The primary goal of reconstruction is to restore function and sensibility, as well as a faster return to work. We reported a patient with multiple fingertip injuries presented 5 days following the initial injury. Copious irrigation and excisional debridement were performed, followed by a full-thickness skin graft harvested from the volar wrist. At the 4-month follow-up, all of the reconstructed fingertips achieved good functionality without any pain or sensory impairment. The length was well preserved and static two-point discrimination was comparable with the contralateral side. Full-thickness skin grafts may provide an excellent alternative reconstruction option in the management of multiple fingertip crush injuries.
