ShatteredSudoku

After a year of setting puzzles, and then leaving them to collect dust once tested, I've finally gotten up the nerve to try uploading one here. Thanks for playing, and I hope you enjoy it!
Shattered Sudoku
Place the digits 1 through 9 into each Row, Column, and 9 cell Region.
The puzzle has been dropped, and the regions have shattered into multiple fragments.
Each 9 cell region was originally a 3x3 box, and its remaining fragments could be rearranged through translation and rotation (but not reflection; they all landed right side up) to form that 3x3 box.
Digits in the cages must sum to the number in the corner of the cage.
Solution code: Row 7 left to right

Great puzzle! The logic was cool, and the irregular sudoku was... irregular.

So glad you both enjoyed it! And yeah, that's fair juggler. I definitely think scanning takes on a whole new shape once the regions are split up. Thanks for giving it a go!

Fantastic puzzle! Very creative, and cool that the jigsaw can be uniquely put back together. I enjoyed the geometric part of the solve, but placing digits was quite tricky for me--that part definitely felt like a 4-star puzzle.

Fantastic piece of work. Took me quite a while to solve, but it really fell together at the end.
