Amputations of the fingertip may be: Partial — some structures remain attached. Complete — the entire fingertip is removed.

Common types of amputation involve:Above-knee amputation, removing part of the thigh, knee, shin, foot and toes.Below-knee amputation, removing the lower leg, foot and toes.Arm amputation.Hand amputation.Finger amputation.Foot amputation, removing part of the foot.Toe amputation.
After an amputation, pain, swelling, and hand stiffness can be problems at first, but gradually improve with time. Scar sensitivity is common and can be improved with scar massage and hand therapy. Some people report an increase in symptoms during cold weather.
Amputations in the hand are commonly the result of a traumatic injury but may be the result of a planned operation to prevent the spread of disease in an infected finger or hand. Occasionally, traumatically-amputated fingers may be replanted (reattached).

The most distal is a simple toe amputation where the line of transection exists through a phalanx or an interphalangeal joint (CPT code 28825). Next is removal of the entire digit through the metatarsophalangeal joint (CPT code 28820).
Recovery can take several weeks. Your finger may be sensitive to cold and painful for a year or more. You probably will have a splint to protect your finger as it heals. It is very important that you wear the splint exactly as your doctor tells you.
An amputation is the removal of all or part of a finger or thumb. This can also be known as a terminalisation.

Bipedicle dorsal flap Start the incision at the proximal margin of the fingertip defect, and proceed proximally on the dorsum of the finger to elevate skin and subcutaneous tissue. At a more proximal level, make a transverse dorsal incision to create a bipedicle graft to cover the defect at the fingertip.
