Diagnostic
Analysis: |
| Amputation reattachment
falls into three categories arteries, veins,
and nerves. The arteries and veins are
associated with maintaining blood
circulation so that after amputation
reattachment there will be necrosis,
likewise the nerves are for maintaining
movement. So if after amputation
reattachment the circulation of a digit is
not maintained it will result in the
condition seen in the upper left image; the
outward appearance is not any different
however the temperature of the digit does
not rise. Compared to the healthy
circulation of the digit after reattachment
in image on the right which guaranteed there
was no necrosis after reattachment. |
