    Microvascular anastomosis enables digital replantation, significantly improving function in most patients. This study details 33 digital replantations with an 85% survival rate and improved function in 15 patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Microvascular anastomosis techniques have advanced digital replantation feasibility.
    • Digital replantation aims for both digit survival and functional restoration.
    • Recent surgical advancements have improved outcomes in this field.

    Observation:

    • This study assessed 33 digital replantations in 20 patients with over 2.5 years follow-up.
    • An 85% survival rate was achieved for the replanted digits.
    • Functional outcomes were evaluated for patients with surviving digits.

    Findings:

    • Fifteen out of seventeen patients with surviving digits showed significant functional improvement.
    • The procedure demonstrated a high success rate in terms of both survival and functional recovery.
