Abstract
Digital replantation is a challenging and at-time tedious operation, but if approached thoughtfully and with reasonable expectations can be a reliable and rewarding undertaking. This article summarizes technical considerations for digital replantations involving flexor tendon zone II. The article has been ordered according to the recommended sequence of a structure-by-structure repair in a non-thumb digit. Special considerations are described for thumb, multiple digits, and heterotopic replantation.
