The goal of this prospective observational study is to assess the post-operative pain in adults with digital amputation following two different surgical interventions: microanastomosis of digital nerves or traction neurectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are:
The researchers will assess post-operative complications during follow-up appointments.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative Pain Measured by Visual Analog Scale in Adult Patients Following Digital Amputation | The primary objective of this study is to compare the level of postoperative pain associated with two surgical techniques: microanastomosis of digital nerves and traction neurectomy. Pain will be measured using the visual analog scale at one week, four weeks, and six months following the procedure. The visual analog scale ranges from 0 ( no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). | 1 week, 4 weeks and 6 months |
| Postoperative Symptoms Measured by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire in Adult Patients Following Digital Amputation | The secondary objective of this study is to compare the level of postoperative symptoms associated with two surgical techniques: microanastomosis of digital nerves and traction neurectomy. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire will assess disability and hand-related symptoms at 6 months. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability) | 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Complication Rate of Microanastomosis of Digital Nerves and Traction Neurectomy in Adult Patients Following Digital Amputation | The tertiary objective of this study is to determine the incidence of postoperative complications for both microanastomosis of digital nerves and traction neurectomy. | 1 week, 4 weeks, 6 months |
