We report a case of successful replantation of ten-digit complete amputation. The conditions of the wounds over the ends of the ten amputated digits varied from severe to light and easy for replantation. The amputation included severe avulsion injuries over four fingers. Appropriate measures were taken during surgery and the replanted digits all survived. The replantation operation was done by a team of surgeons. Although the surgeons were physically challenged by the long and difficult procedures, they worked hard for the benefit of the patient. Physiotherapy and exercises six months after operation showed that the functions of both hands were largely recovered.
