There is an agreement that if the amputated part is present and
replantable, replantation is the best option to preserve finger length and normal anatomy of the nail complex.
The injured fingers were not
replantable; therefore, amputation of the middle and ring fingers at the level of the proximal phalanx and of the little finger at the middle phalanx was performed at another hospital (Figure 1).
When part or all of the thumb is lost and the amputated tissue is not
replantable, various degrees of functional impairment occur.
