What should you do if you accidentally cut off your finger
After a long day helping patients in the emergency room, Priya is calmly preparing dinner when her knife slips and cleanly severs her finger. Fortunately, as an ER doctor, she knows exactly how to respond. First, she carefully cleans the wound with a wet paper towel and bandages her finger— making sure not to wrap it too tightly. To manage the pain, she knows not to take ibuprofen, which could interfere with clotting, and instead chooses acetaminophen. Then she gently rinses the severed finger, wraps it in a clean, slightly moist towel, and places it in a cooler while avoiding any direct contact with ice. Finally, she rushes to the hospital, where, fortunately, a skilled hand surgeon is available. Thanks to the clean cut and Priya's quick reaction, the surgeon can begin immediately. They set the bones and secure them with wires before repairing the tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and finally, the skin. The entire procedure is completed in about eight hours, and after a few months of occupational therapy, Priya's hand is fully functional again. This represents the ideal outcome for reattaching a body part. Unfortunately, it’s also extremely rare— and not only because most people aren’t as prepared as Priya. In reality, many complications arise with most accidental amputations. First, there’s the injury itself. Unlike Priya's clean cut, most traumatic amputations happen in car crashes or industrial accidents that cause severe, uneven tissue damage and contaminate the wound in ways that prevent reattachment. Additionally, more than half of all limb amputations in the United States are caused by disease, and limbs removed for medical reasons clearly aren’t safe to reattach. Then comes preserving the limb. When a body part is severed, its blood circulation stops, cutting off oxygen and essential nutrients. Surprisingly, severed tissues can survive for a limited time without these resources. Keeping them cool further slows tissue death, generally giving surgeons a 6-to-12-hour window for reattachment. But once the tissues die, reconnecting them won’t restore function. This narrow timeline is especially difficult for surgeons. Because of the challenges already mentioned, reattachment surgeries are relatively uncommon. As a result, many hospitals lack the tools and expertise needed to perform these time-sensitive procedures. And even when they can, nerve repair remains extremely complex. With perfectly clean cuts, surgeons may attempt to stitch nerves back together directly. When a cut is jagged, they might use nerve conduits— tunnels between nerve ends that allow nerves to reconnect gradually. However, neither these nor any other surgical methods reliably restore full movement and sensation. These limitations make successful reattachment unlikely. Fortunately, medical technology has developed another reliable solution for amputation: prosthetics. Today, prostheses come in many forms designed to replace different body parts. Prosthetic legs perform well for walking and running. Prosthetic arms have long struggled to replicate fine hand movements. However, modern myoelectric prostheses can detect electrical signals from nearby muscles and translate them into more precise movements. Perhaps the most dramatic advancement in prosthetic technology is transcutaneous osseointegration. First successfully performed in 1990, this procedure surgically anchors a metal implant into the remaining bone. Over time, the bone grows into the metal’s surface, creating a permanent connection. These implants extend through the skin and attach to prosthetic devices, solving several common prosthetic challenges. Where traditional prosthetics can feel heavy, a direct skeletal connection makes their weight feel more natural. Osseointegrated prosthetics are also less likely to irritate the skin and can provide more sensation by transmitting vibrations through the implant to the bone. Even with these advances, not everyone chooses to replace or reattach a lost limb. After an amputation, some people prefer to rely on their remaining limbs, with or without the support of mobility aids and other adaptive equipment.Follow for more stories like this.
