Replantation and revascularization of digits

Between 1970 and 1978, 160 digits in 120 patients were replanted or revascularized. One hundred and nineteen digits survived, and these patients were assessed objectively and subjectively for functional results and their ability to return to work. Providing that strict indications are observed, long term objective and subjective results of digital replantation have proved most valuable from the point of view of the examiner and the patient. The best results were obtained with replantation of the thumb.
