Four cases of fingertip replantation using a single volar arteriovenous anastomosis and drainage with a transverse tip incision are reported. Because of lack of suitable arteries for anastomosis in the amputated finger, in each case a volar radial vein was anastomosed to the proximal digital artery and external drainage was performed through a transverse tip incision. In 3 cases the replanted fingertip survived completely; partial necrosis occurred in 1 case. Because veins are more superficial and larger than arteries, they are more available for anastomosis. The results indicate that this method is a useful alternative in fingertip replantation.

Aim: Finger reimplantation is an effective method for the treatment of amputated fingertips. However, there are several shortcomings in traditional postoperative rehabilitation programs, which may affect a patient's functional recovery after surgery. Finger sensory rehabilitation is a comprehensive program that helps patients restore sensory and motor function to their fingers through the use of specific training methods and equipment.

Introduction: Fingertip injuries are common, and proper management depends on the type of injury and the long-term function. This case report presents a challenging fingertip replantation of the middle finger with single artery anastomosis, which was complicated by an eschar and progressed to healing after six months of post-operative care.
Case Presentation: A 27-year-old man came with a left middle fingertip amputation distal to the distal interphalangeal joint (Tamai zone 2).
