Hello doctor,
Is there any possibility of full recovery after detachment of severed right-hand thumb, if the detached part is found and not fully damaged?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The recovery depends on multiple factors:
- Time since the injury to revascularization (six hours for limbs and up to eight to 10 hours for digits depending on the method of preservation of detached part).
- The degree of crushing of both the ends.
- Age of the patient (younger the better).
- Surgical expertise, as small digital arteries are not easy to repair.
Whatever we do, the normal functions are never achieved. But cosmetically patient has a digit that is scarred usually.
Sometimes, the reattached part is useless and patients demand amputation for better function.
These days, cosmetic implantable prosthesis is a better option and is natural-looking.Consult an orthopaedician and traumatologist online for further help --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/orthopaedician-and-traumatologist
