    Summary

    Digital replantation surgery has overcome many technical hurdles. Patient motivation and rehabilitation are key to restoring hand function after surgery, as lost digits cannot regain function.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Digital replantation techniques have advanced significantly.
    • Challenges remain in restoring joint mobility and tendon gliding post-replantation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the current limitations in digital replantation.
    • To emphasize the importance of post-operative rehabilitation for functional recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current digital replantation techniques and outcomes.
    • Analysis of factors influencing functional restoration after replantation.

    Main Results:

    • Technical aspects of digital replantation are largely solved.
    • Joint and tendon issues remain significant challenges.
    • Patient motivation and supervised rehabilitation enhance functional outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • While surgical techniques are advanced, functional recovery depends heavily on post-operative care.
    • A multidisciplinary approach involving surgeons and rehabilitation specialists is crucial for optimal results in digital replantation.
