Extremity replantation offers functional restoration for severe injuries. This review covers indications, techniques, complications, and outcomes for limb reattachment surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Care
  • Microsurgery

Background:

  • Limb amputation presents significant functional and psychological challenges.
  • Replantation surgery aims to restore limb viability and function after traumatic amputation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of extremity replantation.
  • To guide clinicians in patient selection, surgical technique, and complication management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on extremity replantation.
  • Synthesis of evidence regarding indications, contraindications, surgical steps, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Successful replantation depends on patient factors, injury characteristics, and surgical expertise.
