Description: Definition
Finger reattachment (or replacement) is defined as reattachment of the part that has been completely amputated.
Purpose
Replantation refers to reattachment of a completely severed part, meaning there is no physical connection between the part that has been cut off and the person. Reattachment can be surgically performed for the finger and such other detached body parts, as the hand or arm.
