Polydigit replantation.
A comparison of two fundamentally different techniques of multiple digit replantation is studied: a digit-by-digit versus structure-by-structure method. We conclude from this review that the structure-by-structure method is advantageous in terms of the shorter duration of the surgical procedure and possibly in terms of the survival rate of the replanted digits.
