Arterial and venous grafts bridged vascular defects. Second toe transfer reconstructed index finger with functional metacarpophalangeal joint. Great toe pulp provided sensate padding for thumb. Tendon transfers restored opposition. Nerve grafts bridged digital nerve gaps. Early protected motion protocol began at week 2. Dynamic splinting prevented contractures. Sensory re-education improved two-point discrimination. Work hardening program simulated industrial tasks. Jamar dynamometer showed 25kg grip strength recovery. Nine-hole peg test demonstrated fine motor recovery. Patient returned to modified duties at 4 months. Adaptive equipment recommendations facilitated workplace accommodation.
