    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Microsurgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Finger injuries are common and can lead to significant functional impairment.
    • Replantation offers a chance to restore function and appearance after traumatic amputation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of finger replantation surgery.
    • To analyze factors influencing success rates and functional recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 157 patients undergoing 229 finger replantations from May 1965 to December 1979.
    • Assessment of surgical success, sensory recovery, and functional outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • An overall success rate of 89.5% (205 out of 229 replantations).

  • Sensation recovery beyond protective levels in most cases, with 50% achieving 2-point discrimination < 15 mm.
  • Useful pinch and grasp function achieved, leading to high patient satisfaction despite joint motion limitations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Finger replantation is a viable procedure with high success rates.
    • Functional recovery, including sensation and dexterity, is achievable, significantly improving patients' quality of life.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for optimal outcomes.
