how does a cut finger get resewn back on with full functionality?
In: Biology
If the bone is broken apart i think it can be temporarily cemented in place to heal back together, nerves and veins and stuff are stitched together using teeny weeny stitches. If a significant amount is removed and the tendons are cut, they have to be pulled back down from the shoulder(they ping all the way up your arm) and reattached. I cut off the tip of my thumb (around 15-20mm) and now I have no squishy padding it’s just skin ove bone, and the bones at an angle too so it realllly hurts if I just do much as flick it… generally they won’t reattach the tip if it’s a small amount, mostly because if it is a small amount it’s often too ruined to reattach or unsalvagable whereas a larger amount of finger is more necessary and more worth reattaching 🙂
