As often, it happened while climbing a fence. Lenny used to cross the fence to collect the balls, at the Pierre-Bérégovoy stadium in Livry-Gargan (Seine-Saint-Denis). Child’s play for this 16-year-old high school student. On May 30, he managed to bring the ball back but, on the way down, he felt a tingle in his right hand. “When I looked at my hand, there was no longer a finger,” says Lenny calmly. A small trickle of blood flows. The teenager has just hung the signet ring he wears on his little finger on the fence. He doesn’t know it yet, but he has just been the victim of a “ring finger”. “It’s a finger amputation on a ring, with tearing of the tendons and nerves”, details Dr. Amir Hariri, hand surgeon who operated on Lenny at the Vert-Galant clinic, in Tremblay-en-France ( Seine-Saint-Denis).
