Contraindications to replantation include severe bruising or crushing injury,prolonged warm ischemia,multiple fractures or injury at different levels in the same digit,or associated injuries that preclude the effort.Restoration is much more difficult in crush injuries than in sharp,clean amputations.Replantation is more successful in young patients than in older patients.Also,incomplete amputations are more successful because they have intact subcutaneous venous circulation in the skin bridges.
