Q: I recently lost the top of my thumb while using a knife. I want to know if it is possible to reattach the tip? Is finger transplant possible?
A:To answer your question if it is possible to re-attach the tip - probably yes, but cannot truly say what the local factors were. Finger transplant: has a very low success rate in the world today.
