A member asked:
Need to know how we can help save his fingers or when we should go to hospital to amputate ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Explain: What happened and the details of his injury and we can give you some advice. Generally amputated fingers beyond the last finger joint toward the fingernail are closed and can't be replaced. All the best.
