Abstract
Transpositional replantation is also known as ectopic replantation, when the hand suffers severe trauma, the digital body, such as the palm and fingers, is partially preserved relatively intact, but without being able to undergo in situ replantation. To restore the function of the hand as far as possible, make use of the severed fingers, and, according to the function, of the need to shift the area. The relatively minor finger is shifted to a relatively important position or to reconstruct a hand shape in a proximal limb. Reconstructing the hand function and utility avoids a second-stage operation and reduces the patient’s pain and burden.
