The time when reattachment is possible is even shorter for injuries farther up the hand or arm Many patients require additional surgeries after replantation In these cases, surgeons must reattach muscle tissue within 6 hours from the time of injury.

The number of inches from the injury to the tip of a finger gives the minimum number of months after which the patient may be able to feel something with that fingertip.
Once the patient is stabilized, secure the severed limb or finger
Gather up all the parts to give the surgeons the most possible tissue to work with Put the limb inside a plastic bag, without ice or water inside the bag. Since the reattached bone parts are shorter than the original length, nerves can be reattached without tension A microscope is used for magnified visualization of finger nerves during reattachment
When the severed ends of the nerve cannot be reattached, a primary nerve graft is performed. Replantation of digits is surgery to reattach fingers or toes that have been cut off (amputated) Replantation of an amputated part is ideally performed within 4 to 6 hours after injury, but success has been reported up to 24 hours after the injury if the amputated part has been cooled.

Finger reattachment (or replantation) is defined as reattachment of a finger that has been completely amputated. Replantation is generally not possible for fingers that have been separated from the body for more than 12 hours In cases where the injury is farther into the hand or arm, the time to reattachment is even shorter, as surgeons must reattach muscle tissue within 6 hours from the time of injury Can a severed finger be saved?
The success of finger reattachment depends largely on how quickly the severed part is preserved and the quality of surgical intervention When the amputated finger is kept cool and clean, and brought to a hospital within hours, chances improve dramatically. Between 50% and 90% of replanted fingers survive Fingers that do not survive have to be removed
