Hand Surg. 2013;18(3):421-3. doi: 10.1142/S0218810413720295.

Abstract

A successful replantation of an index fingertip in an 8-month old girl is reported. A literature review of replants in very young children suggests this is one of the youngest patients ever to undergo digital replantation and possibly the youngest finger replant performed.
