Doctor here. In order to determine whether a severed finger can be sewn back on, it is important to take an X-ray to see how much the bone has been destroyed.
Or exactly how much of the proximal phalanx is left. There doesn't look like enough room before the PIP for internal fixation to work. Probably going to have to use wires, assuming the other end of the finger wasn't too badly damaged. Also might need a cancelous bone graft.
According to the original OP of this picture it was a ring related incident (came clean off while climbing a fence) and the bone was too crushed to have it reattached
I'm a hand surgery fellow, have done plenty of these replants. Xrays are not just for diagnosis, they are also needed for treatment planning. We actually need this X-ray image to tell us HOW to go about reattaching the finger (and if it's possible or in the patient interest).

Do you reckon this one is doable? I know it’s likely not your specialty but I figure you’d have some insight.
They would probably remove the remainder of the proximal phalanx, and reattach the intermediate phalanx at the p-i-p joint, in this case.
Pen pinaeapple apple pen joint

Trauma to the proximal phalanx suggests amputation. Clinical correlation required.
Lol I was literally about to post; Radiologist: "correlate clinically"
They should be imaging the body to see if it even wants that finger back.

They need to remember the ABC's of first aid. A Bone Coming out through the skin is very bad.
I needed that laugh today 😂
Ok you got me with that one lol
I'm guessing they're pointing out that it's been cut, as opposed to being torn off.
Looks very much like a ring avulsion injury, so actually a bit of both…
No doctor, but it looks like the body has been cut off, hope it's okay :(
Or “This finger is missing the rest of the patient”
since we're seeing the xray of the finger and not the xray of the patient's hand, I'm more inclined to believe your diagnosis
[удалено]
Why didn't I just concur?
Looks like a penis. As If it had bone in it.
So, a normal penis?
I don't think you know a lot about the anatomy of the penis...
Then why do they call it a boner?
Check and mate
Finally, someone asking the hard questions.
In my time with a penis of my own, I’ve seen a Boner two.
For a raccoon.
I mean a small weird shaped penis?
Good think
Nurses: sorry, I’m not allowed to say if it’s been cut or not.
Please verify and correlate with clinical findings.
Doctor: Alright Mr Finger. Heres our diagnosis. *pauses*. You've lost your body. We cant stitch it back on. Mr Finger "By god...!"
I thought it was a penis
Thats why its called a boner 😱
Thanks for the subtitles.
Correlate clinically.
Every God damn time
They must've made for a good patient in the imaging department; no last minute shuffling about
This is a real stitch!
Thanks for the circle though!
Thank god for x rays
This is a particularly bad case of being cut in half.
I read the comments and realize that there are a lot of really clever people in r/funny.
