Standardized imaging protocols for upper extremity (UE) transplantation are crucial for pre- and post-operative evaluation. Advanced imaging confirms successful bony union and vascular patency, aiding clinical trial assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Composite tissue allotransplantation
  • Medical imaging
  • Orthopedic surgery

Background:

  • Upper extremity (UE) transplantation is the most common composite tissue allotransplantation.
  • Current pre- and post-transplant evaluation lacks standardized imaging protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight imaging protocols and findings for UE allotransplantation.
  • To standardize imaging for clinical trials in UE transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Multimodality imaging including radiography, CT, MR, angiography, and ultrasonography.
  • Dynamic CT and MR for motor activity assessment.
  • Evaluation of image quality for vessels and bones.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative imaging revealed skeletal deformities and vascular variations.
  • Posttransplant imaging confirmed bony union and vascular anastomoses patency.
  • Dynamic imaging showed functional joint range of motion at 8 months.

    • Conclusions:

    • Advanced imaging is vital for surgical planning and monitoring transplant success.
    • Standardized protocols are needed for comprehensive assessment in clinical trials.
