Two-stage replantation of a severed digit with blood supply from the first dorsal metatarsal artery
The dorsum of the foot provides a viable and effective site for one-stage ectopic replantation of severed digits when in situ replantation is not feasible. Utilization of the first dorsal metatarsal artery as a vascular source for digit reconstruction demonstrates both procedural safety and favorable clinical outcomes.
