Can a fingerprint recover from cuts? Do they interfere with the identification?

Except in some cases where the cut leaves a scar, a fingerprint recovers from a cut without problems, returning to its original aspect. Even if there is a cut and a scar, the fingerprint will be easily identified, because 13 minutiae are needed for the process, while a regular fingerprint has about 50 of them.
