Abstract
An amputation of the thumb is a distressful injury with negative effects on one’s ability to perform daily tasks, work, and support a family. It can thus impose huge psychological impacts. We report a replantation surgery in a young male patient with an amputation of the thumb at the carpometacarpal joint level. It is essential to inform healthcare professionals about the possibility of salvage. Apparently, the immediate attention of a multispeciality medical team would be necessary to increase the chance of success. This paper also reviews previous studies on the operative techniques of replantation along with their contraindications and long-term outcomes.
