Abstract
When a child sustains an amputated part it is a devastating injury for the child, his/her family, and the healthcare providers involved in the child's care. This chapter will focus on recognizing the mechanisms of injury to aid in prevention, handling of the amputated part, and indications for replantation. A brief discussion of the operative technique, postoperative care, and outcomes will also be provided.
