The focus of replantation of any part of the upper extremity is maximizing functional outcomes rather than simply surviving the amputated part. Functional outcomes depend on the anatomical characteristics of the injury and patient-specific factors. Anatomical considerations include the level of amputation and the degree of injury to the arterial intima and other soft tissue structures. Other considerations must be given to patient factors such as age, occupation, and cultural significance attributed to the hands. This activity reviews the technique, indications, contraindications, and complications of digit replantation and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing patients with digital amputations.
