I didn’t have a transplant but I cut my finger off and feel reattached it. Their are a dozen or so vein clamps and nerve clamps in there. They told me they basically pull the nerves and vein together and the clamp it with the clamps to hold it and either stitch it together or do something else. I can post a pic of my x-ray and you can see the hardware in there.
