Amputation (finger) replantation

Since Chen Zhongwei et al. (1963) first revived the first patient in China with a completely broken forearm, amputation (finger) replantation has been widely performed throughout the country and has made gratifying progress. With the increase of clinical practice, especially since the 1970s, microsurgical techniques were applied to severed finger replantation, and the survival rate of severed finger replantation increased from 63.7% to 93.2%. It is reported that the replanted limbs and fingers have some functional recovery. However, replantation of amputated limbs (fingers) is a new topic in trauma surgery, and there are still some problems that need to be resolved.
