You Know When Someone Gets Their Finger/Arm cut off?!


Question: You Know When Someone Gets Their Finger/Arm cut off!?
and they can stitch it back on, can they use the limb again or is it just like there for being there's sake!?

because i always wondered this, because if you can use it again, how would connect the nerves again!?

thanks :)

Answers:
Yes, they can use it again, but the recovery of use depends on the condition of the tissue and the amount the nerves can grow back again!.

Ideally the digit or limb is placed in ice soon after severance so as to preserve the flesh!.

This kind of surgery has been around for a long time!. I knew a guy who had his hand cut off back in the 60's, but it was re-attached and he recovered full use of his thumb and 2 fingers!. In fact he went on to become a bass player in a local band!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes you can, sometimes in a limited way!.
The finger needs to be wrapped in clingfilm and put on ice (NOT in water - it will shrivel up)!. Make sure all parts are gathered up as we cannot grow another nail!.
Success depends on the amount of muscle damage and it needs to be re attached within 6 - 12 hours!.
The rest is up to luck and the skill of the surgeon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

with today's medicine it is possible to re-attach a limb!. It would take a long time for the nerves to reattach, so it would just 'hang' there for a long time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't know how it works but sometimes they can reattached and make it work but not as well as before they may only have a little movement!.
