Patient demographic data, characteristic of injury, surgical complications, replantation success rate and follow-up outcome were retrieved and analyzed. Descriptive statistic was presented as percentage, mean and standard deviation.
Results: There were 30 cases of finger replantation and 42 fingers were reattached. Success rate of finger replantation was 54.8% (23 fingers) and there was no significant relevant factor affected finger replantation success including finger injury, incomplete medical indication and other surgical technique applied for venous repair (p value > 0.05).
