[Should a single long finger be replanted?].
The indications for the replantation of single amputated digits are still widely discussed. According to our experience of 136 replanted single fingers in a period of six years and the results of an examination of 86 of these cases carried out subsequently, a large percentage of the patients is satisfied with the outcome of their operations. Therefore in general replantation of single fingers should not be rejected. In a doubtful case it would be advisable to transfer the patient to a hand- and microsurgery center.
