Finger replantation.
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the following factors on the survival rate of replanted digits: patient's age, type and level of amputation, time of ischemia, number of arteries and veins anastomosed and type of vascular repair. A total of 60 digits were replanted by the author from 1980 to 1990. The results showed no significant correlation between the survival rate and the factors studied. However, the surgeon's experience played an important role in the survival rate of replanted digits.
