Abstract: The best indication of replantation is first of all, the amputated thumb, among all fingers, since the thumb is functionally the most important digit. Therefore, replantation of the thumb should be attempted even under unfavorable conditions. We report a replantation surgery in a young male patient with an amputation of the thumb between the base of proximal phalanx and the interphalangeal joint
