title: Finger and hand replantation. Surgical technique.
abstract: An approach to the technique of either finger, thumb, or hand replantation is presented in this article. Acceptable alternative approaches exist, but I have found those techniques described as practical and useful. Variations of these techniques will be necessary depending on any number of circumstances, but these considerations should be individualized to the specific patient and injury pattern.
