Abstract: Digital pulp loss is a very common situation in hand trauma. One of the mostly commonly used classifications of fingertip amputations is the Tamai classification [1] in which the distal phalanx is divided into two regions. The region between the nail bed and distally to the fingertip is classified as Zone 1, and the zone between the nail bed and proximally to the distal inter phalangeal joint is designated as Zone 2. Although replantation is the best treatment method, it may not always be possible [2].
