Abstract
A marked tortuosity of the digital arteries ("ribbon" sign) at the site of a digit amputation is a sign of a severe avulsion injury to the neurovascular bundles. When this finding is present, the artery should be resected and the gap bridged by a vein graft, if revascularization is attempted.Entities:
