What is a finger amputation?

Finger amputation is usually the result of injury that was serious enough to interrupt the tip of the finger. In some cases, the finger may be amputated in the doctor's office due to injury or other condition, such as bone infection, gangrene or frostbite. Sometimes there may be injuries that resulted in amputation of the finger if the interrupted tip of the finger was brought to the doctor shortly after injury. Although the fingers may sometimes be surgically re -attached, there is a great chance that one will have a more reduced function and feeling in your finger than before. An accident involving a finger amputation requires immediate medical care and if possible, a cut finger should be found and if possible. Unlike general beliefs, it is not a good idea to give the tip of the finger to the ice directly on the ice, as this could lead to greater finger damage. It is usually acceptable to place your finger in a waterproof bag, at this point the bag can be placed on the ice.

When a person goes to the emergency room with a finger amputation, the doctor is likely to explore the extent of the injury and asks questions about how it happened before deciding whether to re -re -regend again. The anesthetic is likely to be injected in the finger to stop the pain, and X -rays could be carried out to check the finger bone damage. Re -connecting the finger tends to be a very long, involved surgery, and if only a small part of the finger has been cut off, the doctor may decide to simply combine the skin together and let it recover over time. Surgical rediscovery tends to be much more successful in young people than in adults.

Finger amputation is sometimes necessary when one has a problem such as frostbite, gangrene or some type of bone infection. In such cases, it is not usually possible to reconnect the finger. A person who has an amputated finger may experience problems such as pain and temporary lossAta feeling and turns on for up to a year. In some cases, these problems can withstand indefinitely. Physical therapy could be useful for a person who has lost a finger, but may not be necessary if the amputation was not incredibly serious.
