Can the children's toes that were cut off be reattached?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask if a child's toe can be reattached after being broken by a machine. This incident occurred on the afternoon of September 20, 2011. About the previous treatment and outcome: There has been no history of allergies. What kind of help do you want: Help us reattach his toe.

Doctor's answer:

Whether a reattachment of an amputated toe is possible mainly depends on the severity of the traumatic injury, the time elapsed, the extent of the injury to the amputated part, and the condition of the remaining toe. Generally, if the injury is not severe and the amputated part is preserved intact in cold storage, with a storage time of six to eight hours, it is possible to promptly seek medical attention at a qualified hospital for reattachment. Of course, if the injury is severe and reattachment is not feasible, it will not cause any interference with the function of the lower limb, and reattachment is not necessary.
