Fallon injured himself when he tripped over a braided rug in his home and caught his ring finger on a countertop, leading to him suffering from ring avulsion. Fallon was in intensive care for 10 days. While praising his surgeon for successfully repairing his finger in a six-hour procedure, he also stated that ring avulsion is extremely difficult to reconstruct. The majority of people who have a ring avulsion lose their fingers as a result. In Fallon’s case, his doctor was able to restore blood flow by removing a vein from his foot and reattaching it to his finger.
