Abstract:
Postoperative care of amputated digits begins before replantation. Detailed informed consent should be obtained and completion amputation discussed if revascularization is not ultimately successful. Complications and failure of the replanted digit should also be addressed. Postoperative pharmacologic treatment should consist of aspirin, at minimum. Complications, such as venous congestion or occlusion, and arterial thrombosis, should be dealt with expediently. Digital motion rehabilitation should start after 5 to 7 days of digital viability and splinting of the affected digit. Early protective motion protocol is implemented to maintain digital motion with emphasis on tendon glide and joint motion.
