The fingertip amputation healing process varies depending on the extent of injury. While minor tissue injuries can heal on their own over two to four weeks, larger tissue injuries that require surgical treatment can take weeks or months to heal.
Nail deformity was reported in three cases with level IIB of amputation. None of the P3 flaps failed, and local infection was not reported. The average DASH score at 6 months was 1.1. The mean time to return to work was 38 days (range from 30 to 53). The P3 flap proposed in this ...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the long-term function following fingertip reconstruction with a laterally ...
The aim of this study was to analyze a series of patients who suffered a distal finger amputation and who were treated with occlusive dressings. A retrospective study was done of 19 patients from a single hospital. At the review, an independent examiner evaluated the time required for wound ...
We aimed to assess sensorial outcomes of fingertip amputations with or without nerve coaptation according to amputation level. Methods Between January 2013 and July 2018, patients with Tamai Zone 1 and Zone 2 amputations underwent replantation. The patients were divided two main groups. Patients ...
Wide local excision of noninvasive malignant melanomas has been increasingly performed instead of digit amputation, which often results in extensive fingertip defects. Owing to the unique anatomical characteristics of the fingertips, achieving favorable outcomes in both function and cosmesis is ...
All patients developed satisfactory tissue cover and sensibility recovery. For amputation injuries of Allen III and IV, we recorded a normal light-touch 2‑point discrimination in the Semmes-Weinstein Test in 77 % and diminished in 23 %. There were no complications like tissue ...
The implication of immune signaling in regeneration is shown in axolotl model of regeneration with an increase in the expression of several proinflammatory cytokines early after limb amputation [25]. However, cellular and molecular mechanisms in human fingertip regeneration remain poorly understood. In ...
