Abstract
Digital replantation and revascularization have evolved significantly since the first published reports in the 1960s. Advances in techniques and instruments have made these once formidable procedures a routine part of hand surgery training. Despite this, the frequency of successful outcomes for replantation may be on the decline in the United States. This review summarizes key mechanisms and innovations used to maximize efficiency when presented with a digital replantation, from the moment the patient arrives in the emergency department until the time of discharge.
