Finger avulsion is a rare and grave injury. Injury caused to the finger wearing a ring by avulsion of the soft tissues, when the ring is pulled forcefully can cause a wide spectrum of damage ranging from a simple contusion injury to a traumatic amputation. Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth or dressing and elevate the wounded area to stop the bleeding. Rinse the wound. Use water or a saline solution to flush out the avulsion. Avulsion injuries are usually treated in one of the following ways: allowing the wound to heal on its own, growing new skin from the edges into the middle. Stitching the edges of the wound together, if the wound is small. Reattaching the avulsed skin. Grafting skin over the wound.
