reimplantations
Putting organs back
Reimplantations are procedures in which something previously removed is surgically reattached or reinserted.
A severed finger may undergo reimplantation, as may a tooth knocked out in an accident.
In orthopedics, joint replacements that have failed sometimes require reimplantation of new prosthetics.
The reimplantations of her damaged teeth were successful.
