digital amputation

Digital amputation refers to the surgical removal of a finger or part of a finger, often performed to treat severe injury, infection, or circulatory problems that threaten tissue viability. This procedure aims to eliminate damaged or non-viable tissue to prevent infection spread and promote healing. Recovery may involve rehabilitation to restore function. While it can be a necessary measure, it also impacts dexterity and daily activities, underscoring the importance of timely medical intervention in hand injuries or conditions.
