[Rehabilitation after upper extremity replantation at the wrist level -- own experience]

An amputation at the wrist level (the level with the best prognosis) has been characterized. Rehabilitation protocol after replantation at the wrist level developed on the ground of 328 replantations done in the Center over 25 years has been presented. Its essential quality is an early initiation of active movements (second postoperative day) and resistive movements on 10-14 days after surgery. The differences between currently used protocols have been emphasized. Excellent and good results were achieved in 65% of cases according to Chen's criteria.
