Replantation Outcomes After Digital Amputation

Quick fact

A cleanly amputated fingertip can be successfully replanted in more than 80% of cases, whereas a crushed or mangled digit has a survival rate below 50% at many centers.

Why this is interesting

Imagine losing a fingertip in a kitchen accident—doctors might be able to sew it back on, but why do some attempts succeed while others fail? The answer lies in a surprisingly delicate balance of time, tissue, and technique.
