Case report demonstrates sensory recovery in finger injuries with combined neurovascular damage using graft.

To explore the efficacy of a vascularized second toe digital nerve graft for finger sensory reconstruction after electrical burn injuries.
A 26-year-old man with sensory impairment underwent intraoperative exploration revealing 2.3-cm nerve gap.
Reconstruction was performed using a vascularized second toe digital nerve graft.
Sensory outcomes were evaluated postoperatively using two-point discrimination measurements.
Achieved final two-point discrimination of 6 mm post-reconstruction.
Demonstrated minimal donor-site morbidity.
Gradual sensory recovery noted, addressing sensory dullness in the fingertip.

Lee et al. (2026) studied this question.
