[New approach to the classification of traumatic amputation of hand fragments]

It was shown that of the greatest significance for early results of microsurgical digit and hand segment replantations were the completeness, mechanism and the level of the amputation. The criteria used for the classification of traumas are described in detail. Results of treatment of 154 patients operated upon for replantation of 184 segments of the hand (217 radiuses of the hand) are presented.
