What's the problem after replantation of severed fingers?
There may be many clinical complications after finger amputation, such as replantation of severed fingers. The joint may become stiff due to long-term steel needle fixation or plaster fixation, and the joint stiffness will continue if the later exercise is not timely or strong enough. And because of nerve injury, it is difficult to recover, and the later recovery is not ideal.

1. What are the complications of replantation of severed fingers? 1. Because after the operation, the bones are fixed with steel needles or plaster, some are internally fixed and some are externally fixed. No matter what kind of fixation, fingers can't move for a long time, which leads to joint stiffness. If you remove the plaster or steel needle, you will not get enough exercise in the later stage, which will easily cause joint stiffness. Affect the normal function of fingers.

2. Wound infection or long-term nonunion may occur after finger amputation.

3. Poor nerve recovery. Because hand nerve anastomosis needs to be carried out under a microscope, if the nerves are not butted, it may lead to poor recovery of feeling and touch of fingers.

Second, what should I pay attention to after replantation of severed fingers? The main link of replantation of severed fingers is surgery, which must be highly consistent with blood vessels and nerves. However, after the operation, the blood vessels will be stimulated by pain and cold, and the posture will change, which is prone to vasospasm. Therefore, we must pay attention to the following aspects after operation:

1. Stay in bed for 7~ 10 days after operation, and keep the affected limb properly elevated.

2, postoperative ward must keep warm, bedside should have a baking lamp, keep it at 20 degrees to 25 degrees.

No one can smoke in the ward after the operation, and the patient must not smoke, because nicotine will stimulate amputation after the operation and change the body position.

4. Patients should keep a positive attitude after operation, don't be too nervous and anxious, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and their fingers will recover soon.

5, the postoperative diet must be light, choose a diet that is easy to digest and nutritious, do not eat spicy food, and it is also very bad for finger recovery.
