Popis: This chapter reviews the history and indications of digital replantation and provides a thorough assessment of hand function to guide the surgeon. A technical guide to replantation is provided based on guiding principles of hand surgery and microsurgery. We provide a useful framework for the functional and cosmetic principles of microsurgical thumb reconstruction as well as pollicization and phalangization. We recommend a deep understanding of the hand's function prior to embarking on digital replantation and thumb reconstruction, as well as individualizing reconstruction to patient needs.
