Case Presentation:  Patient was a 42-year-old male who suffered a severe blast injury to his left hand, resulting in nearly complete traumatic amputation and avulsion of his thumb. He had multiple open fractures of his hand, including an oblique, articular base fracture with comminution to his thumb proximal phalanx. A minimally invasive approach resulting in stable fixation was desired to preserve soft tissue and allow early range of motion.
