Abstract
BACKGROUND: Generally, surgeons assess the quality of vascular anastomosis in digit replantation on the basis of their experience. DESCRIPTION: The steps for replantation of a completely amputated thumb, with assistance of high-speed video recording, consist of (1) debridement, (2) fixation, (3) tendon suture, (4) anastomosis, and (5) wound closure1,2. ALTERNATIVES: Revision amputation or flap coverage. RATIONALE: With the assistance of high-speed video recording, the refilling velocity ratio (RVR) is an objective index for the quality assessment of the vascular anastomosis.Entities:
