Finger, hand and upper extremity replantation
What can we achieve?
- A precise evaluation of each case to assess the possibility of undergoing a replantation procedure.
- By discussing advantages, disadvantages and potential risks of all reconstructive options available we ensure each patient makes the best decision for their case based on their priorities.
- Replantation of the amputated segment is performed using the most up to date techniques to increase chances of success to the maximum and reduce potential complications and sequelae to the minimum.
Procedures
- Finger, hand and upper extremity replantation
- Treatment for complications and sequelae
Pain:
- Mild to moderate
- Pain depends on the extent of the injury and the reconstructive procedure chosen. It is usually well controlled by oral medication.
Scars
Usually, scars will be located where the initial wound occurred. On occasion the wounds need to be extended to facilitate the procedure.
Recovery
Having undergone replantation patients tend to have good results but prolonged down-time.
Patients can usually return to non-strenuous activities in about four months.
Most patients can resume all kind of activities within six months after replantation.
