title: Digital replantation following amputation due to trauma.
abstract: Digits amputated through trauma can often be replanted and regain function. Success depends on preoperative care of the digit and minimising the time the digit is without blood supply. Long-term patient compliance with postoperative care and therapy is necessary to maximise postoperative functioning.
